Boot time is slow

hey,
i own xps1330 2.4.ghz 2gbram

i just installed the 7rc after the beta, and at first it ran fast but im running it for like 2 days, and now the boot time is longer then 1minute10seconds.

why is that???

no hardware changes at all?

Hello and welcome to the Windows7 forums,

Please let us know your hardware specs and whether you did a "clean" install or an upgrade.

Are youi dual-booting with another OS?

Do you have a c:\windows.old folder?

whats up Reg...nice Nova. I had one of those back in the day...but mine was full of rust and dog-walked down the street

Thanks kevin,

I've owned about 6 of them since I was 18

One was stolen and never found.

no hardware changes.
no dual booting.
no windows.old

CLEAN INSTALL + FORMAT,

Do you recall installing any software that might have caused the slowdown?

Go to Start > type msconfig and remove everything. see if this make any difference.

Then go back and check the boxes for your anti-virus, spyware detector, and personal firewall if you have one.

You do have Anti-virus software installed, correct?

avg free.

it runs the same.

Are you saying AVG was the only entry under the Startup tab?
Or did you remove them all, then add AVG back in?

clearred all
running the same
