heres some info.
Only thing running in the background is my Ati icon in my task bar on the right.
Fairly new install, no gator crap no comet or anything like that.
Even if I did have one or two things loading up in the background, I dont think it would take 1 minute to load up, or even then, I would think I could still open up a program while that other one was loading considering the memory I have and the AMD processor running above 800mhz speeds.
Again, only happens when it has sat turned off for 8-10 hours or so.
