Slow start up after fresh install
So my XPS caught fire and my mom gave me her old computer as she got a new one.
i threw some good parts from my XPS into this Dimention 8400 so it has better specs to run windows 7.
3GB of ram and my X800XT radeon videocard and the 3.0GHz HT 64 bit processor
Now i installed windows 7 32 bit ultimate from my XPS and it takes 20 seconds to get to the logon screen, but after that once you log in the "Loading" screen takes 3-6 mins along with once the desktop shows up it takes another 5 mins or so to even press the start button and bring the start menu up, 45 seconds to 2 mins to bring the internet up and this is a FRESH install, as of like....20 mins from this post it finished installing. not even activated yet.
Score is a 4.0 so im sure it can run fine. http://i55.tinypic.com/34g8qs8.jpg
Now i just don't understand how it can be SO slow, and it's only happened with windows 7, im tmpted to install XP or Linux now because 7 runs so horrible, and the stats for the computer are fine.
