Slow boot up time.

I have friends with a Medion PC similar to mine that complain that after running error check/defrag/disc cleanup on their XP installation their boot up time is now much longer.

It seems to be the initial CMOS time that is longer rather than the actual windows load up. (Long time with black screen before windows starts up)

Have run the excellent Regvac on it without finding any major registry problems. Machine is running an OEM version of XP home, Pent4 1.6, 256SDRAM, 80 Gb HHD. Only 6gb of 40gb boot drive occupied, other partitions even less.

Any idea's ?
