hello,

I have a weird startup problem and that is that it takes about 4 minutes to start my rig up until i get into windows. Once my PC has started up it goes like a speer like it should be. Everything is working normal, no errors.
When i get the window of "windows is loading" my screen goes black then en then it takes about 2 minutes before he goes further. Then when windows is signing in it takes another 2 minutes until i finally get into my desktop.
Scanned for virusses and spyware but nothing helps. Disabeld Cool 'n Quite but also the same problem. i didn't install other software before and it was working like it should be, so nothing is changed. Just a new day started and i have this problem. Any solution or advice ??

AMD 64 3400+
Asus K8V SE Deluxe

Antec truepower 550W

try downloading a program called tunexp from driverheaven.net. Works wonders. To me it sounds look your boot files are massively fragmented. Whens the last time you defragmented the hard drives?

Well i defragmented when the problem was there but still the same thing.
When my PC is in windows my system goes realy fast it's just the bootup time that takes about 5 minutes.

I found the problem, it was Alcohol 120% and his virtual drive that was the bottleneck.
Thx anyway
