Go to start - welcome centre. Click on more details then click on System
performance rating. Here you can see if drivers or software or anything
else are causing a problem. You might find that incompatible drivers are
causing a slow boot.

Stick int he XP installation CD and instal XP. Don't reinstall Vista
until it is released sometime at the end of the year.

Who the **** said I was trying to endear myself to anyone?

Two other possibilities are the indexer is running to index the drives
(especially after initial install) and the disk defragmenter is running.
Both have negative impact on system performance...
