OS: Vista Business 32bit


Vista: LONG pause during startup

I have a new Vaio SZ650 laptop running Vista Business edition 32bit. I removed alot of bloatware that came with the system and put on some core apps.

Problem: Vista boots and desktop/sidebar come up... then.. PAUSE x 45 seconds.. then the rest of the startup software loads (Kaspersky antivirus is the only thing I notice).

I tried uninstalling Kaspersky - no difference. Using MSCONFIG, I even disabled all non-microsoft processes from starting, as well as all startup applications . I still noticed a similar pause followed by 5-10 seconds of disk activity / busy pointer.

Here is my HijackThis startup log. Any ideas?? I notice a lot of undefined registry keys. Could this be the problem?

Code:

Re: Vista: LONG pause during startup

When I launch SERVICES.MCL after desktop appears, it seems WORKSTATION SERVICE is the culprit ("Starting.." while the system is paused, until finalled "Started" 40 seconds later). When I disable the service, boot time is normal.

Why would this service take so long to start? I have a 802.11g wifi card that is connects to a D-Link router (WPA/PSK), and LAN workgroup of 3 systems. I notice the system tray WiFI icon is a yellow exclamation-point for about a minute before going to normal status. Not sure if this is relatet, but Workgroup and outside internet works fine.
