Thanks Steve, I only run one firewall (Mcafee).I turned off the windows firewall. I was told that it was not a good idea to run more than one firewall. My boot time did improve but it is still very slow. About two minutes or more.I was just looking at the task manager and I do not know which are safe to turn off. Thanks again.
