My apologies I thought you were referring to something else. I ran this two weeks ago. Is it worth running again?

OK we will now use an old MS tool called Bootvis

The instructions on how to run it are here

The tool download is here

If you could attach the final trace after optimisation we will be able to see what is causing the delay

I finished the trace after optimization but what did you want me to attach? The file that I can save is 182MB. The total time is 801 seconds so I can't really fit a screenshot in a single page easily...

Did that improve it any ?

There is one unknown driver that takes forever to load

No real improvement. I don't know what SAS is. Again even in safe mode the computer takes a long time to boot, so I cannot think of what could be causing the problem.

SAS is superantispyware

If the same is occuring in safe mode then there is little that I feel I can do

It may just be that the system needs a refresh.. I used to do my XP annualy

By system refresh do you mean wipe the hard drive? Could you provide me with some instructions?

Aye that is correct, I have found that after a year or two the system will slow down. A reinstall makes it as fresh as a daisy again
