Donny:

I have had most everything shut off in in startup for sometime without problems. I also use other utilites to keep a check on things.

You may want to check out this link, it's from a tech guy named Leo Laporte. He's run various shows through out the years on Tech TV now on KFI radio in LA. He's also authored a number of books on tech. I have listened to this guy for years and he is very credible. Just so happened on one of his recent shows he had a caller who had problems like yours with slow start up. Below you'll find the link to the comment I quoted to you.
