Newest on slow start up with Windows 7 64 bit. Seems this problem occurs when there are more than a given number "X" of USB devices plugged in at startup. Has something to do with Win 7 getting hung up in some kind of a loop because it doesn't want to see all that start up stuff. Solution is easy. Unplug all your USB stuff, reboot and it will run like F A S T. Then plug your USB stuff back in and go. I'm told by my guhru that the next Windows 7 "fix" should take care of the problem. Works like a charm for me--hope it helps you. View more at: http://www.techyv.com/questions/makes-my-computer-startup-very-slow
