Hello. I would send an e-mail to support@xxxxxxxxxxx and query this. I have System Access and it hasn't slowed down my computer. You can change the SA settings so it doesn't startup automatically. I admit there is a difference of a minute or two because of SA starting up but not 5 minutes. ----- Original Message ----- From: Margaret Smith To: access Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 3:23 PM Subject: [access-uk] Very Slow Boot Up Hello Until yesterday, my computer took at the most 30 seconds to boot up. Now, for reasons I know not why, it is taking the best part of five minutes. Apparently there's no unusual message on the screen, and the only program which has been added lately is System Access. I have even uninstalled this thinking it might help, but it made no difference. I have disk keeper so my computer should be well de-fragged, and I have just done a disc clean-up, but with no change at all. Could anyone suggest what else could be the cause? I have Windows XP, JFW 7.10 and my virus protection is Nod32. Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Marg.
