Ok here's what I got. Thanks for all your help :)

Mmmm......check your Startup and Services items in MSConfig, and post a listing of what's in there please.
Here's the Startup list. The Services list is a lot longer, is there any way to expand that window or easily copy the contents other than print screen successive windows (as I did for startup)?
Would there be any significance in this little pop up MSE window that I see a bit of now - at least once every time I have my laptop on. It's only appeared since this issue arose, I've never seen it before then.
Turn off MSE for now.
Make a list of all the HP items in Startup and uncheck them. Save the config, and reboot. Is the boot any quicker?
Did that, unchecked three items but it hasn't made any difference
should I recheck them again?
Roaster I looked at Defragmenter, it last ran 12 May.
C: was 1% fragmented so I defragged that.
System is 7% fragmented and when I try to defrag it the process won't complete. I've tried a few times.
The only thing I think we can do now is gather a startup trace:
Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace
As far as I know Cluberti is the only person that can decipher the results properly, so follow the tutorial, and I'll ask him to have a look.
ETA it's ok, the process stopped properly after 50 minutes.
Thanks Golden, I started to follow the instructions then realised because of my slow internet I should take my laptop to the local library to use their quick internet. So I cancelled my download and got this. It's been like this for at least half an hour. Can I ignore the warning and shut down to take to the library?
