Slow Bootup

Last Update: Thu, 07/10/2008 - 00:39 — capekrj

I am running Widows 2000 Sp4 and recently the bootup has slowed to a crawl displaying "Applying Security Policy" for over 15 minutes.  It then comes up and operates normally.  I thought that it might be my anti-virus software (McAfee) so I temporarily disabled it but that didn't help.  I looked at the Run, Run Once registry entries which are minimal and nothing abnormal there.  Nothing in my Startup folder either.  I don't see any unusuall services running.  What can I look at next?  OI have run Virus scans, adware scans, spyware scans and a rootkit detector - nothing shows up.
