How to fix slow computer bootup?

September 23, 2009

Everytime i install a program into my computer my computer becomes very slow in bootup. When it boots up the explorer appears but the system tray programs arent in place. I dont have that much programs in bootup all i have is my firewall and my antivirus that boots up and this hasnt become a problem before i installed a program. The program isnt a virus and i have enough ram (512 mb). my firewall is zone alarm and i use AVG anti virus Free. it takes about an hour or 2 juss to boot up my whole computer and i checked msconfig already to check if there are any startup problems. I checked regiestery problems with CCleaner and i defraged my harddrives yet it still wont work. There are no spyware on my computer i scanned for viruses. Can anyone help?
