Why dose my PC take ages to turn on????

I'm using Vista.

When I turn on my PC it takes about 1/2 an hour or longer to turn on!

I have a good antivirus software and no viruses.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Try to reconfigure your start up programs. Sometimes, without you knowing it, your computer will automatically run various programs at start up, and half of them you don't even use.
running windows vista with out running the microsoft compatabl;ity test to see what you need to do before you can windows vista.
