New Member Posts: 2 OS: xp	When I start my computer it takes about 5 minutes to get windows to start up. First I get the Intel logo for about 2 minutes. Then I get the XP logo for about another 3 minutes. When I first got the computer it never took this long, until it would not log off one day and the computer had to be manually powered down. What can I do to correct the start-up problem? Need Help Randy
