Laptop is booting slow?

I have a labtop that is about 3 years old and in good overall condition. I'm diligent about running anti-sypware and anti-virus programs on a regular basis to keep everything at peak performance, but for some reason it just takes a long time to boot up. I'm at a loss here. Can someone suggest why this may be? Thanks...

    I recomend CCleaner. This will repair your regristry in the computer and clean up the **** left behind from other programs. A computer will not always be fast. Programs advance over the years taking up more RAM. Upgrading your RAM will help. Download and run ccleaner from the link below.

  • Why don't you try defragmenting your hard drive?

    In windows, right-click on the drive. select properties and under tools select defragment.

    Also, your problem may be due to registry errors that may be piling up.
