Hi Mike :
It is slower going from login to desktop. I realize what I have put in will
slow the process, but again...I have nothing new starting up then I had
before....as a matter of fact, I have even less. I do have macafee loading,
but i had it loading before.

Which part of the boot up is slow? Power on to the Login screen, or Login to
a usable desktop?
In the first instance, and especially if you have installed SP2, if there is
a USB external drive or scanner connected, that can slow the boot process.
Hardware driver versions may make a difference too, as can faulty RAM..
In the second instance, start up items like anti-virus software can have an
effect. On a clean install, the regular start ups and processes should not
really be affecting the machine. Anything that you added may do though..

The difference being that McAfee is running in 64bit Vista now. It shouldn't make any difference really, but it may well do..
Try out Avast 4 Home or Avira free edition and see what happens. If restart is faster, you have nailed the cause . I wish that my memory was better because I have tried a few and there is a noticeable difference.
If you are running a McAfee security suite, try disabling the McAfee firewall, and enable Vista firewall instead. I run ESET NOD32 v.4 security suite, but have disabled the ESET firewall in favour of the Vista offering..
