Boot Problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Whenever I boot up it is not only slow but there are problems once completed.
The probl;ems include very slow loading of programs and generally my norton
antivirus doesn't show. If I then use system restore for an earlier date,
generally the day before, all becomes well - boot up is fast and all programs
load very quickly, even though I get a message that System Resore has not
changed anything. After I shut down and re-start the problem re-occurs.

What to do.
