I think so, too. Ever since OSX became stable enough for me to do all the network stuff, I don't do Windows much these days. I have 3 PCs here. One of them takes 10 minutes to boot even in safe mode, like yours. The other one is muento slow. The last one is still doing OK but this machine I got after I moved all the tasks to OSX, and I don't work on this machine much anymore - small tasks like browser compatibilities for my web designs. When I was doing Windows back then, it was my routine to image C: upon clean install plus Office install to D:, and refresh C: from the image every 6 month, or I get the symptom you described. One of the biggest reasons I stick with Mac OS is there is no messy registry biz. >Thanks David for your suggestions and links - I'll try those when I get in >from work. I never saw that post.
