Running XP Professional 32 bit on a fairly new system I built. Wife has the exact same system and her's runs like a pro, so it's not a hardware conflict issue that I know of.
The System takes 15+ minutes to boot into windows. About 5 min from BIOS to windows. Another 5 for Windows to load. Yet another 5 to log into my account. I am the only user of this computer so there is only one account.
Last time I ran chkdsk was a few weeks ago, and it came back clean. I defrag weekly, clean registry weekly, and scan for viruses every other day or so (using Spybot SD, Microsoft Security Essentials, and Malewarebytes, just recently uninstalled AVG).
I have tried disabling firewall configurations, system monitor configurations, played with msconfig startup, among other things and I cannot for the life of me figure out why my computer takes so long to boot.
This is my first time to ever post on a forum, so please tell me any other information you need or what you would like for me to try.
