if it takes a long time on startup but runs quick afterwards it sounds like its loading a lot of services,some of which are problably not needed at startup.not sure how vista manages startup programs,perhaps a vista user will chime in here.in your first post you mentioned removing a virus.you may still have some nasties on your comp.download,update and run superantispyware.delete anything it finds.also download,update,and run malwarebytes and delete what it finds.then download hijack this from trend micro.change the name of the file to scanner.exe and run it.post a log of the hijack this scan.do not delete anything with hijack this just yet.cheers.
