Slow startup??

Does any one else have a problem with Vista taking a good 5 mins to startup?

It takes about 45 seconds on mine. A little longer then what XP took , but not painful enough to cry to mom about it :D

Google for Vista startup and pre-caching and you will see what is going on.

5 minutes is a bit long. Have you made sure you bios USB settings are set to NO BOOT?

my vista starts faster but a little slower on shutdown then xp. i think cuz i have all the tweaks on xp but none on vista yet. a bit to early to do that.

Do you have an external hard drive attached? If so, unplug it and see if it starts faster.
