BleepingComputer.com: Windows is hanging???

Every time I start my computer and login I see my desktop but the classic windows chimes don't belt out until about 2-3 min later. I am able to open a few things like documents but not really programs. Sometimes It will hang for a few seconds sometimes 5 min and a few times not at all? I've had this problem for a long time and just ignored it, grabbing a coffee and letting the blast of noise let me know windows is ready...This happen to anyone else?

Thanks for any info on this, I'm hoping it's an easy fix....

Uncheck the above after rerunning autoruns.

will do...It looks as though I have to many startup items? and that's why things are hanging at startup? I'll restart and see how it goes I'm assuming after unchecking these..Thanks.

Well, a few restarts and it seems to be loading up a lot faster..thanks again

You are welcome. You can go back and recheck one item at a time till the issue is found. I would remove Real Player completely.
