Sounds like you've possibly got to many items in your windows start up menu which you'll need to remove, I can't remember how to remove them right now. I'll have a look in a bit but I'm just changing the coolant expansion bottle right now.

I'm with Clunk on this one. Sounds like it's loading a whole lot of bloatware on start-up.
Lucas. If you press Windows key + R. A run program dialogue will pop up. In there type in "msconfig", without the marks. A menu will pop up. There will be tabs on top. One of the tabs is labelled Start-up. How many items approx, do you have in there? Or if you're keen, screen shot it and post it here, I'll could briefly run ya through, which ones aren't important, and you can untick them for a faster start-up.

I just figured out the slower your computer runs, the more beer you drink.........

Ok I had about 26 items for start up. I removed 6 obvious ones (like HP advisor dock, Norton which is not on my computer, etc).
Just restarting now

You'll probably have quite a few in there that you wont need mate. I had absolutely bucket loads but once unticked, starts up so much quicker...... almost new bud lol

Start up may be a little quicker but probably not lol. I think it's just slowed down in general:-(.
I'm still getting the shockwave error when trying to get on YouTube. It's basically stopping YouTube from working at all.
I loaded the new shockwave, have the latest fireFox, been restarted a few times this arvo but still no change:-(

open up your msconfig, take a screen shot, post it up and lets see what else can be removed..................
didnt realise you needed shockwave to view youtube, i thought it was adobe flash?
