Ultra-slow Start-up
Over the past couple of weeks, when I switch on my computer, it goes through the DOS routine as normal. However from the start of the initial blue Windows screen to being able to log into windows takes, instead of the normal few minutes, it now takes a good half hour- it's like watching ice melt! Thereafter, all is reasonably back to normal, although slower than usual.
System- Athlon 2000- 512mb RAM- two hard disks, 60Gb and removable 80Gb.
Anyone got any thoughts? What process should I go through to catch the bug responsible for the slow start-up?
