    Have a AS5610 and recently it is dog slow on bootup (8 Mins until the computer is usable). Have removed hard drive and scanned it with several malware scanners, tested the hard drive for physical problems as well as running memtest on the memory. None showed any problems.

    Have run msconfig and disabled everything and that allowed a usual computer after 4 mins.

    I ran a shareware util called BootLog XP and it appears to indicate that LVPRICINJ.DLL is running for 509 secs of a normal bootup. This is the logitech video camera driver. I was thinking of uninstalling the Orbitcam software and drivers but can not find the current drivers on the Acer (N America) site.

    Also might want to look into how much RAM your system has - if you're already paging to the hard drive on boot-up, that could denote a signal to upgrade.

    Thanks for the lnks... too bad Acer's support for N America is so darn confusing and missing these files.
