Ran the cleanup routines and changed over Mcafee for AVG. For whatever reason the system still boots up incredibly slow and takes about 6-8 minutes to get up to speed. But there are no random pop ups in the start bar!!

When I turn on my computer the initial "Windows is starting up" box take a full 1 minute to cycle to the desktop and then approx 6-7 mins from there until my IE is operating at normal speed? Anything else you can think of that could be the cause?

Hmmm could be hard drive related.

Let's try this.

Go to Start run type in Cmd then hit ok.
In the black box that apeears type in this >chkdsk /f /r type in Y at the prompt and then reboot your computer.
Let checkdisk run and let me know if that helps at all.
This will take a while let it complete.

I ran chkdsk and in the Verifying File Data (stage 4of5) windows replaced bad clusters in file 2560 of file /windows/system32/config/sysevent.evt

My computer is now running perfectly!!!! No bugs and no slow boot!! Kahdah, you dah man! Really nice work.

Thanks a million,
