Hello, my pc is several years old and takes about 5-10 minutes to turn on. It gets stuck forever on the gateway screen, it makes me push enter on my login (even though there is only one user name and i don't have a password) and then it sits with the blue background for two more minutes before the desktop icons pop up.
Things I have done that haven't helped:
-defragmented
-deleted all unnecessary files (I have almost 90% of my harddrive free!)
-gone into the msconfig and made it so that almost nothing starts at the startup
-run virus scans, ad-aware, and anti-spyware
Any suggestions?
Will a registry cleaner help me? There are a couple of files that are on msconfig that I didn't touch because I don't know what they are...
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Can you hear a regular clicking sound whilst it is failing to boot - if so your harddrive may be failing and the heads might be repeatedly reading the same sector(s) trying to piece together the data
If this is the case back up your data immediately and replace the drive
