My system has been running fine for the last few weeks....but when i turned it on today, windows loaded the desktop, and then 'stopped' it did not load the rest of windows (explorer etc) until at least 30 seconds had passed. I ran the cleaner, ad aware, misc registry cleaners, and nothing significant turned up. However, i went into event viewer, and saw two errors that occured at bootup/. The first was:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: EventSystem
Event Category: (50)
Event ID: 4609
Date: 9/16/2002
Time: 8:28:05 AM

And the second

Event Type: Error

Date: 9/16/2002

0018: 32 30 37 38 00 00 00 00 2078....


Other than that, nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. UPDATE: I was looking around further and it seems like these errors have happened before, so they most likely arnt related to the bootup issue (i would nonetheless appreciate any help on resolving either issue)
