Thanks, I had suggested they look at that, but will also do it myself next time I look at their machine.
I can't think what the problem might be as this has only happened after a full disk maintenance schedule, and only seems to affect the time that windows starts rather than the time windows takes to boot up. That I could put down to start up programs etc. We have tried booting up without these, as disabled in 'msconfig' but to no effect.
Any further idea's?
Thanks in anticipation.
