Strange one this. My PC (Evesham 2.4 Ghz P4, 256Mg RAM, etc), has two profiles: mine and Sal's. If I boot into my profile, the whole PC will load up in around 20 - 30 seconds no problem.

If Sal boots into her profile, it can 3 or 4 minutes to load. Both accounts have admin rights. I can't see anything different between the builds and why one should take so much longer.

PC is patched up with the latest service packs. Most programs, such as the firewall and anti virus software were loaded under my profile, but are obviously used by both accounts. Hibernation has been disabled in both profiles.

Is there anyway of seeing what is loading? ANy thoughts on wh this might be happening?
