Check the BIOS and see if there is a quick boot option. If you enable it, just realize a boot error could occur and you may miss it. Just a thought.

Are you running Windows XP??

Check to see what you have loaded up. You can do that via msconfig. It could be stalling while it is loading up your start-up programs.

Haven't got a clue what counter spy is, but I know Norton takes a long time to load. It is normal.
