by disabling all startups, it still took 4 1/2 minutes for a usable desktop.
The main delay was after I clicked my identity on the logon screen. The other
identity on here is empty and unused.
I also have a wallpaper that appears just after identity is clicked at logon
but disappears before desktop appears. This was here before the startups
disabled but i cannot remove this image!!!!
thanks
sorry, forgot ,
currently 74mb physical FREE mem, 24gb free out of 34gb hd

Not free memory, but actual physical memory installed & do you have a
seperate graphics card?
Once again, msconfig, disable all startups, on Services Tab, hide all MS,
disable the rest.
Reboot & accept the msg
How is it now?
PS during this msconfig process any third party AV or Firewall will be
unavailable, so unless connected by a nat router you may want to physically
disconnect any internet access
