My mom's Gateway has suddenly start to take about five minutes to boot up, for some reason. Anyone know the reason/how to fix the problem?

scan for spyware

check bootlog.txt for failures (do some searches to single out what failures are appropriate)

eliminate excessive programs from start-up, too

If you're running Win 9x, you can run msconfig to control what loads during start-up.

It could also be a new program that you installed recently. :/
