My system runs fine other than it taking an amazingly long time to boot. I have checked my start-up, cleaned the registry. My disk acces light is on the whole time
Thank you all so far, here is more detail;
I am a power user so the obvious stuff I have tried.
I run the latest Norton as well as WebRoot spysweeper.
I have run process explorer as well as tcpview to look for unknow processes or network connections (spyware), nothing there.
I have two gigs of ram.
It almost seems like scandisk is running evertime I boot but I have no indication on the screen that this is so, just constant disk activity.
My boot really does take over 40 minutes so this is much more than a domain timeout.
Is there a way to have windows prompt me (Y,N) for everyitem that tries to start-up?
I have tried selective start-up and basically shut everything off, no change.
I thought I read somewhere that you could get windows to actually prompt you (Y,n) before every service, driver, and program loaded when booting but I can't rmember or find how to do this.
Help!
can't someone help me?
