Hey guys I have Windows XP Prof. and have all the patches installed. I have been using this system for many months now.
Few days back I noticed that my Windows started taking upto 25 minutes to boot!! During this time the HDD LED shows continous work load. I had not installed any major software which could have caused it. I checked for viruses/spyware using AVG Free, Zone Alarm Internet Security, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware. All these softwares gave negative report. I checked for HDD error but it was found to be OK. I also used System Mechanic 7 and CCleaner to scan my computer for errors but found nothing to be wrong. I had installed Office 2003 SP3 few days back which I removed but even then the problem remains. What should I do?
I have dual boot system with OpenSuse installed alongside Windows but Linux is working fine (which means no hardware problem).
Please Help!!
Below are list of programs which starts during boot-up:
