the processor is an intel 1.8 ghz (the same as mine)with
512 ram and I don't remember the current exact size of
the page file, but at one time I changed it to 1000mb
with no effect to the system so I went back to the
windows managed size.
Two other things that may be important is 1)that it is a
Gatway system, mine I put together myself and 2) their
computer has 5 different users (accounts) and mine is a
single user although I believe that these items should
not effect start-up time. If there is not a manual fix to
this problem are there any software programs out there
that may help?

Thanks
Stan
