Slow Startup
Hi, apologies if this has been asked before or is in wrong forum.
My computer has become very slow on start-up. On start-up it seem to be OK until the Windows Logo (starting windows) appears, from this point it takes about 7 minutes to move to the "enter user password" screen. I enter the password and hit enter but no characters appear in the password box? After about anther 3 minutes the desktop appears and all is OK.
If I turn computer off and then back on straight away it will only take about 2 min 30s from start to desktop. If I leave it off for 30 mins or more it goes back to taking about 10 mins to get to the desktop.
I read there can be start-up problems caused by large numbers of restore points and installed the "hotfix" but to no avail. Help please!
