"30 second freeze" on logon

When I logon on my laptop, only the most basic services seems to start, and I cant open any programs for about 30 seconds when the hard drive kicks in and the rest of the services load. This seems to have some connection with me installing "dawn of war", if I restore it to before the installation my laptop is fine, but if I re-instal it and play it, it seems to start all over again.
Anyone got any advice?:pray:

I think you answered your own question.Your laptop probably isn't designed to play Dawn of the Dead. What are the minimum requirements of the game, and what are the specs of your laptop. (This is a rhetorical question)
