slow starting
slowwwwwww starts with Windows XP ... at least 5 minutes before I can use the computer. Its a Dell 4600 with plenty of speed and memory ... don't see a virus and only using 2% of my cpu. Don't have auto updates on, because that was driving computer crazy looking for a valid server, though I don't have any problem getting on line.

Exactly how much ram do you have?
Is this a new problem, or has it been happening for a while? What anti-virus do you use?

It's probably time to run hard drive diagnostics. Press F12 when you start the computer to boot into the diagnostics partition.
