I have a HP Pavilion dv9620us laptop with came with 2 separate harddrives running Vista Premium with 2 gb ram.  My question is why does it take almost 3 minutes to boot to the desktop after the welcome screen comes on? After the welcome screen comes the desktop turns black until it opens up to the desktop and you can see the harddrive is still working.  I have contacted HP and their solution is to re-install windows.  I have a problem with that as the first one I purchased and had to return for a different reason did the same thing so I really don't think doing a complete recoverey is the answer. I have installed all the updates from the HP webiste including updating the bios.  It didn't make any difference.  Maybe one of you own this same computer and can give me some insite on this problem.  Would appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this problem.  Thank you.  Barbara
