I think I found the cause of my problem and it was hardware, not software. When I turned on my computer today the HDD was unreadable. I'm just glad it failed early before I had any significant amount of data on it. Thanks for your quick responses.

Here is my new trace: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20377915/bootlog2.zip I uninstalled MSE, restarted once and then ran this boot trace (a second restart). It was still a very long boot taking about four and a half minutes. Hopefully I can reinstall MSE at some point without this problem continuing. Anything you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.

The only recent thing I've installed is the Tribes Ascend beta. ( I put it on the HDD) I really don't think that is the problem since other people I play with who are on Windows 7 aren't having this problem.

I've been having problems where this computer I just built was taking a very long time to boot even though the windows install is on an SSD. My trace is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20377915/boottrace.zip I've notice that the Profiles process is likely the problem, but I have no clue how to fix this. My SSD is drive C: and it holds the windows install and various programs that I want to be able to run very quickly. My Data HDD is drive E: and it has other data as well as my Users and ProgramData directories. To move my Users and ProgramData directories onto the HDD from the SSD I used this method: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/124198-user-profiles-create-move-during-windows-7-installation.html Windows booted very quickly just a few days ago, but yesterday and today it has been taking nearly 6 minutes or more to hit the desktop. Any help would be appreciated.
