Default Takes forever for windows to start up

Well whenever I start up my computer it takes ages to be able to use it (around 8mins) so does anyone know of a way to speed this up? apart from buying a faster hdd

thanks

Your best bet would be to go over to the Virus Spyware & Security forum and get Evil to check your hiijakthis log.
