How much free hard drive space do you have left?  Is your virus software up to date?  Have you scanned your drives for adware and spyware?  When was the last time you defragged your Hard drive?  How many programs do you have loading into memory when Windows loads?  Alll these factors can affect the amount of time Windows takes to loads.  If you need additional help, you can reach me at ResourcePC.
