Ok just so i'm ultra clear, the slow part is when you have the knightrider effect going on with the green line going back and forth or however it moves, the computer doesn't have any more fonts than anyone else. i haven't installed any more.
My computer at work starts a lot quicker and it has more fonts and startup programs than my pc at home, I have a lot of very large games installed, maybe 10-15 and they collectively take up about 60gbs, would this make any difference, perhaps the drive is defragmented, although i only did a clean install about 3 months ago.
