Windows 7 Home Premium - suddenly boots longer
Hi everyone, A couple of days ago my laptop started to boot longer than it used to for the last six months. I have spent the last days searching for a solution and followed advices I have found. The boot time before the problem appeared was about 57 seconds, now it takes 120 seconds to boot up. I haven't installed any programs recently nor did I change anything in the autostart. What I did however, is upgraded Windows Defender and Live 2011 programs (10.23.2010). I uninstalled that upgrade (was only one with a matching date) but no improvement what so ever. I tried booting in diagnostic mode but with anti-virus program running and the computer booted like it used to in the good ol' days. Not sure what to do now... Any help would be really appreciated. Laptop: Acer Aspire 5740G Intel Core i5 430M 2.26 GHz ATI Radeon HD 5470M 4 GB RAM Avast! FREE Cheers
