    Hi, I used my pc yesterday and it was operating as usual. No problems. Turned it on this morning and it took 1/2 to boot. When launching a program it also took close to 30 min. I tried restore and no change. Tried launching programs in safe mode and no dice. I have not added new hardware/software recently. Thought I would ask before I format the computer.

    Thanks

    Hi Bimmer Guy, you haven't filled in your System Details and you don't tell us much with WinXP 2Gig RAM.
    Are you up to date with SP3? Neil.
