Slow windows startup?

[mjbailey21 10+ year member]

Well, finally got this dumpy pc up and running. Only problem now is that when I get to the blue windows screen, Windows is loading screen.. (right before the beautiful intro music)... it just stops, for like 30 seconds. It's not actually loading since I can't even hear the hard drive thinking or any other PC noises..

Not sure what it is.. any ideas?

Done all that, it's not even that those things are loading up, the PC doesn't do anything in those 30 seconds, it just stops then decides to start...

start, run, "msconfig", should be the last tab after you run "msconfig" uncheck all the unnecessary start up programs.
