Laptop takes 15 mins after boot up before I can do anything!!
I am at my wits end! Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop with 4 GB RAM running Win 7 64 bit. I haven't installed anything new, but suddenly, when I boot it up, it takes 15 -20 mins before a can do anything. The desktop comes up and the network connects and everything looks fine except the hard drive light is solid! If I click on anything at all nothing happens or it locks up. I try Task Manager and sometimes it opens (takes 5 mins) and sometimes I get an error saying it can't open and to restart. When it does open there are no processes running that shouldn't be and no applications running.
I setup Selective startup to load system services and disabled every startup program I could. I've run a memory checker, two diff virus scans (AVG and MS Security Essentials) and no viruses found.
Once the machine starts to run the way it should its fine, but I can't go through this every time I start up or reboot my system. I've been at this for 3 days and I'm starting to get crazy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
