ok guys as some of you may know i have been trying to fix my computer the past few days because it would be extremely slow at startup even after i formatted it 3 different times each time installing zone alarm to protect my computer never thinking that it could be the problem however on the fourth format i found that it was. and confirmed it by uninstalling zone alarm and re installing it which improved the startup speed. it never did this before does anyone know what could be causing the slow startup
