Could someone please help me? I installed Windows 7 Home Premium x64 yesterday and i have put some software on it since them. I notice that my action centre flag in the system tray (set for show icon and notifications) is now taking between 3-5 mins to load after my anti-virus and network status icons and a reboot or restart. Is this normal? I also notice that some past icons that i have now disabled through the programs themselves are still shown in the customise notification icons window. Is this also normal? Any help would be appreciated.

fluffy is giving you good advice. I would do a disk clean up and ck drive for errors first, though.

Just out of intereset, how long does it take the action centre icon take to load with your systems. Is it the same as mine or does it load instantly?

go to run, go to msconfig, go to startup, see if there are some start up items that you can uncheck. I think maybe you have too much starting up when you boot.

Post a screenshot of msconfig/startup tab and your installed programs. Action Centre should load asap at startup.

Thanks for that I will remember that in the future. My monitor stopped working this morning on Windows 7. Seemed to be a driver issue. I had the action centre thing and there was a couple of other issues. In the end I have just put a Vista x64 backup that I had from a few days ago. I think I will leave it a while before putting Windows 7 back on. Thanks to all for there help.
