Hi all! 
My computer has been booting quite slowly for a while now, and I've
finally had enough.
I've spent the last few hours reading and rereading many guides on how
to speedup boot times and many of the suggestions/solutions have not
affected my boot time in the slightest bit.
I downloaded Bootvis and ran "optimize system", which didn't seem to do
anything at all.
I did a trace on next boot + drivers and the Shell init is 137.21 sec.
What could be causing this?!
I dunno much about stats of different things starting at boot but I did
a search on Shell init and saw others with 5-10 second Shell init.
I also don't know how to save the logfile from Bootvis in anything
other than .bin. If anyone needs me to upload this file or run
HijackThis and post a logfile from it I'd be more than happy to!
Thanks so much for your help.
