    I recently updated windows and moved some programs off of the c: to make room, but I am now having serious problems. After start up the computer freezes for 5 minutes and I can't pull up any programs. After 5 minutes it is its normal lightning quick self. Any advice would be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Willis

    What exactly did you move?
    You might want to check out your startup programs and run a registry cleaner and if you don't have an SSD, defrag.

    I only moved games like, Borderland, SC2, and Crysis. I've never run a registry cleaner before. I'll google it.

    Well, Internet Explorer is still running choppy, but the whole computer is not freezing up, that is a start I guess. Not real sure where to go from here though.

    Choppy how? IE is a pretty crappy browser imo. Did you defrag/scan for viruses?
