Hi Andy, Thanks for your imput on this and in some way glad to hear its not just me that has this issue. I am on the verge of reinstalling windows 7 just to see what might be causing this and if reinstallation would fix it but I doubt it. I feel that sometime over the past few months perhaps a windows update caused the problem but can't be sure anyway thanks lads for the feedback.

Hi Paul - Yes, I have exactly the experience you detail below. I thought it might be to do with too many apps loading on start up, but have looked, and unchecked those I felt I could safely do so, and also let Tune Up Utilities look to see which progs are loading that it feels are not necessary. I wondered too if it was a Vista issue, but seeing as you are experienceing it under Windows7, then clearly not. So, I'm still having the same experience, and just live with it, but it is irritating, especially when somebody is waiting on me for something, and I haven't booted up for the day - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul J.
