I'm bumping this thread to see if anyone has any other ideas. I remotely logged on to her pc and did all the things listed here. I ran malbytes, ccleaner, and cleaned up her msconfig. I rebooted with nothing in startup and still took 30. Ccleaner cleared up 1.2 gb of stuff and malbytes only found one item.
Her antivirus was listed as being a huge resource hog so I uninstalled it and installed avast. Still taking forever. I ran defraggler and her drive was at 30% fragmented. I got it down to 5% and freed up 18gb. She has almost half of her 160gb drive free.
She has 2gb of ram and a 1.6ghz celeron mobile. Even over remote connection her system isn't that laggy while in windows, it's just booting up. I think she may have a VPN connection to her work but that shouldn't slow it down that much.
She is still having 30 mintue boot times and I'm stumped. I'm thinking a format and reload is the next step but I can't do that over remote connection. Anyone else have any ideas?
