Network protocols frequently take a long while to time out so perhaps
something is still trying to access the network. Try looking at your network
connection settings.

Chances are that your new install is activating ALL your

programs. Disable them. Go to Start/Run/type MSCONFIG
and OK, click StartUp tab. Uncheck/disable everything
except your anti-virus program, if Norton, it will start
with NAV. Click Apply > OK and reboot. Now you have
a "lean, mean machine" and should boot in 20 seconds.
Disabling programs does not delete them only stops them
from using your PC resources.
