when i access my computer, it takes aout 2-3 minutes to
load the drives. The flashlight icon begins to search for
the drives. This is an annoying problem, can anybody help
me resolve this?

Disable Windows Image Acquisition ( WIA ) and see if it solves your problem.

If you use your computer for digital photography or have a scanner you should monitor whether the change has any adverse affect. Don't forget you can restore the service temporarily whilst carrying out such activities. I use a scanner and have noticed no ill affect.

You can access and change services settings:
Click Start, and then click Run.
Type Services.msc and then click OK. The Services window appears.
Locate and select the service that you want to change.
Click Action, and then click Properties.
On the General tab, click the drop-down for the "Start up type" list box and change the start up for WIA as needed.
Click OK when finished making your changes.

Hope this helps.
