hi there,

i'm afraid it is still taking a long time to boot up. from switch on to being ready to use it is taking about 5 - 10 minutes. it used to be nearly instant, its only 5 months old!

i've gone through all the programs i rarely use and uninstalled them. i cant think of what it could be :S

thank you for your help, at least i know its virus free!

Claire
