hey guys, about a day ago when booting up my comp, it goes into windows, i dont hear the start up windows sound, and nothing loads for like a min, then everything loads fine. i tried defragging, and doint TONS of other stuff, looking @ startup files, etc, and nothing seems to work. yesturday i did system restore and it seemed to work once i restarted the comp, but this morning when i turned the comp on, same problem if anyone has ANY ideas on what i should do, plz let me kno, im dying here!!! tIA
 
seriously guys, this is driving me insane!!!! lol, anyone got any other ideas??? i dont wanna format, i have run a virus scan, nothingh. i have run spyware scan, nothing, i have looked for non responsive programs on startup, got rid of them ,and still get the problem. i have went to msconfig and tried to screw around there, still nothing. plz help me!!!! i would say just for me to let it go, and just leave it for 50 secs, but when it does this, my firewall dont work properly, otherwise i really wouldnt care so much, but somehow i need to fix this. im still leaning towards something maybe sound wise bc 2 things load, and then its supposed to b an application from Soundblaster that loads next i think, and i dont get a windows sound when i logon when this happens, so maybne its something with the sound card, should i re-install the driverS? any ideas?? plz help. TIA x 100000!!!!
