<div class="IPBDescription">What do I doooo ...</div> It goes super slow all the way up to logon ... once I logon it doesn't appear to continue running slowly ...

last time I started it up there wasn't a problem, and I haven't install anything since.

    how many times has this happened? If only once, try again, maybe just a fluke. (I know, most people would have tried a few times already before asking, but it's worth a shot) Give us more information, if possible.

    What are your system's specs and OS?

    First off, do a full virus and adware scan on your system. Second, try reading this:

    I'd check what programs are starting up. Go to run/msconfig to check this. As an example I only have 8 running on startup, and they're all necessary.

    It happens before windows starts at all where the little bar like this appears:

    it appears right before the "windows is loading" screen.

    I'll give you a paint representation

    this is what the whole screen looks like

    It depends on your BIOS, IIRC. Speaking of which, have you updated your bios recently? How about other drivers?

    Really?

    It goes by really really quick usually ... appearing for a half-second.

    It was there on mine for about 10 seconds though.

    BIOS = Board Integrated Operating System

    it's what your MoBo has built in incase you, nuebcaek, fry your normal OS by deleting random files <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    eh? My MoBo company touts it as a Board Integrated OS... then again... it also has a complete lack of prepositions or adverbs in the description... Chines => Japanese => Korean => French => Japanese => English translations FTFW!

    Here's a sample (Yes, this IS from my moBo box... it's a Gigabyte K8Triton)

    "In order to avoid software wrong detected of the heatsink or fan when it apart from CPU, AMD Athlon XP and Athlon MP develop "Thermal SHutdown Function" to protect CPU to conduct any wrong operations. In short period of time the component of inside CPU will auto monitor temperature when it goes higher than normal and it will shutdown immediately."

    I like that one... lol...

    Wikipedia FTW!

    While thought experiments on the wilder shores of theoretical physics continue, no scheme that may allow "warp speed" travel has yet been devised that has been accepted by mainstream science. Some physicists have proposed a method for FTL travel, based on Einstein's theory of general relativity. They recognize that it is impossible to go faster than the speed of light. However, given enough energy it is possible to change the shape of space, i.e., to warp it. In which case, a starship using this system would need only travel a few kilometers per hour. This theory, known as the Alcubierre drive, has the convenient feature that its terminology is in accord with Trek jargon: "warp factors" measure the warping of space, not actual speed.
