AHA found it

well i uninstalled norton system works 2001 and mcafee virus scan in safe mode and it boots up quicker

but that dont explain why i get load failed on the fonts ???? anyway it dont matter LOL

i think it must have been a conflict with nav 2001(which gets bundled with system works) and mcafee virus scan .

thanx to everybody who replied

Mike have a nice day
