90 second boot time, HJT file included

A friend's computer takes quite a long time (90-120 seconds) to get into XP Windows.

Here is an HJT log:

Hi Daddad,

Don't see anything wrong in looking the log over. There are a few processes that might not need to be running on start up:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IMONTRAY] C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Active Monitor\imontray.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SoundMax] "C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\SoundMAX\smax4.exe" /tray

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_04\bin\jusched.exe

You can look these up and any others by querying start/process data bases thru this link: http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=39425

You can also try using bootVS tool from MS which will analyze startup processes including driver loads. Warining, use as an analytical tool only:
