I have hardly any programs running through ms config, and it is an almost fresh reinstall of windows, there is no spyware on the system and it has been completley defragmented. But it takes about 5 mins to become useable. Also sometimes the pc will just randomly lockup in explorer for no reason. What could be cuasing this?

Norton Internet Security? DHCP on?
 
AOL software and Norton?
a few years back i had this config untill i twigged it was this making my pc take minutes to bootup :)
 
Slow boot up

I had a similar problem, it was taking around 60 seconds or more to load using XP pro. I eventually put it down to antivirus software, I was using mcAfee and noticed a progressive slow down over a long period of using this software.
I am now using nod 32 and so far have not had any issues. Although i am now using Vista build 6000.
AMD Athlon 64
Lan Party nf3 250 gb MB
WD raptor (C:)
WD ide storage
maxtor 300gb sata 2 d/max 10 for torrents
Crap gfx card xfx 5600 which needs to be rplaced. :(
Hope this helps. Merry xmas.
 
I have none of the mentioned software other than msn. At least the jamming problem seems to have resolved itself after a reeboot. I'll try disabling msn and see if that helps. ;)
