Slow boot/IE7

[Guest]

IE7 SP2
Not a huge problem but irritating. My PC takes a long time to boot, perhaps
up to 2 minutes but it eventually gets there. Then, to bring up IE7, it takes
another similar period of time. Once booted and into the 'net all is OK, I
can switch between them without a delay but if my PC goes into standby it
awakens OK but both the wakeup and IE7 again takes this long period of time
to arise. This has become this way within the last two or three weeks and I
have deleted and reinstalled IE7, SP2, my
cable modem and the Cox broadband application, went through msconfig to the
best of my limited ability without success. Can anyone give me more pointers
and/or suggestions to speed this process up?

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event

the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
