Long Wait at Blue Screen

[Guest]

Recently I when I log onto my computer it has been taking a long time to get past the blue screen which says loading personal settings. It sits there for a good minute at least. It used to load up within a couple seconds until all the sudden one day it gave me this problem. It didn't gradually get slower, it immediately started doing this after i restarted my computer one day. Can anyone please help

I have done all that numerous times and have nothing left to that I don't need starting up. I tried using bootvis but that didn't get me any better performance either. Maybe I'm not using it right. Any other suggestions. I have a spyware blocker and anti-virus and my computer is spy-ware and virus free as far as I can tell. I have tried so many things to fix this and I know many other people have this same problem. Now who has the answer

Please quote some of the previous post. The Event Viewer can be found in
