  Hi Andy.

  Could you provide full specifications of your laptop? that might go some way 
to providing an explanation.

    Hi all -



    I did a time check this morning for the time it takes from actually turning 
on the laptop, to accessing the desk top with JAWS13. Here's what I found:



    Time taken from turning on to hearing start up music for Vista, 70 seconds, 
approx.

    Time taken from hearing Vista start up music to JFW speaking the log-on 
screen, 2 minutes, approx.

    Time taken from entering log-on password, to desk top where JAWS announces 
"JAWS is ready...", 80 seconds, approx.



    So, a total time of about 4.5 minutes. Do others find this consistent with 
their booting/logging on experience? It feels rather long to me, I am only 
allowing a handful of apps to load at start up, but it might be that Avast is 
doing a boottime scan ahead of my log on, so, it would be interesting to hear 
how long it takes other peoples machines to reach the desk top, both those with 
Avast installed, and those without it -



    Andy
