Hi vicky,

Go to start > run and type msconfig
Uncheck anything that is not from Microsoft and boot again, if the
boot is OK, then enable each item one at a time to find out which one
causes the slow boot.

Sounds like a common problem, I have been getting the same sort of thing.
When computer first switched on I can login and everything in th startup and
drivers all seem to load pretty quick but as soon as I try to run a program
(apart from Internet service like OE or IE) the system appears to stop
responding for about 5 minutes or so....even ctrl-alt-del fails to show so
cannot see what programs are hogging the resources, I have also noticed the
same thing happening in safe mode..... After the 5 mins everything that has
been clicked on jumps to live filling my desktop with all sorts of windows
and applications running......

Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Birderman
