Greetings, How full is your disk? The disk requires "Swap Space" during the boot process and if your disk is close to being full then the "Swap Space" is small and the boot process has to keep swapping little pieces at a time to boot. Have you emptied the trash lately? Cheers Harry San Jose, Ca ("`-''-/").___ ..- -''"`.. _ ( 6_ 6 ) `-.
