Boot delayed in Windows 7 (HPE-515t)​... how do I find the culprit?

I have an HP HPE-515t running Windows 7/64bit. When I boot the box, it can take 30 minutes before it is ready to use.
I get the HPO logo and then the Windows logo. The the desktop starts to appear and hten it appears to stop, though I know it is doing something. Eventually, it comes back to me and Adobe Lightroom loads, but I don't think it is the problem.
How do I see exactly what is loading and what is it waiting for? I tried the System Log, but didn't see anything that would help (of course I could just be missing it).
thanks!

Hello psimon1210
Are you still having a slow boot problem? If so one of the best ways to isolate the problem would be to disable all startup applications and reboot. If the startup is much quicker you can then proceed to re-enable individual startup item until you find the boot up is slow again.
The first article shows you how to open the msconfig utility. On the startup tab, press Disable All.

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

    How do I find the password for my iMac on version 10.7.4?

    DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ABOVE LINKS.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File?  The file "properties" tab is no longer available.

    I typically have several open Preview files at any one time and often forget where, sometimes if, I saved them.  In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File?  Tried holding option + command in spotlight but I don't see a path name appear anywhere. 

    Yes, cmd-option on a file you choose in Spotlight and the path will appear at the bottom of the Preview window.
    EDIT: Also, if it is bookmarked the path is in Bookmarks.

    How do I find the iCloud icon to add to the dock.  I believe this was on the dock when I first had the computer.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iCloud is not an application, so it does not appear on the Dock or Applications folder. Instead, you can manage iCloud settings in System Preferences > iCloud.
    iCloud only appears as an application in Windows because of iCloud Control Panel

    Unfortunately, we lost the serial number of our touch - now it was stolen. How can we find the serial number - I thought it would be registered under my iTunes-account... Any ideas? Thanks.

    You can get the serial number in iTunes by heading to Edit->Preferences.  Then when the window comes up, click the Devices tab and hover your mouse over one the iPod's backup.  It should then display it's serial #.

    I have a dell 1320C color netwrk printer connected to a routher with a Cat 5e cable.  I want to find out what the IP address is on the network.  How can my Mac Book Pro auto detect the printer like my Dell laptop used to do?  If it can't auto detect the printer, then how do I find the IP address?

  • How do I find the codec used for a .mov file?

    I have a .mov file from 2001 that I can't play. How do I find the correct codec to use for this. Is there somewhere in the file itself some kind of reference to the codec used? I've installed pretty much everything I could find in terms of codecs. I don't care whether on mac or windows. Just need the right codec.

  • How do i find the IP address of my printer?

    I have an HP 7130 all-in-one printer connected to a windows computer that is connected to a wireless router and modem. im using my macbook, which is also wireless to the same modem, and i am trying to set up a printer which requires the IP address of the printer it cannot find on its own. How do i find the IP address of the printer?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gavin,
    Actually it was a typo fault on my behalf. Unfortunately the 7130 will not have an IP address as it doesn't have an Ethernet connection - just USB.
    So, you are either going to have to connect the printer to the Windows computer and print from the Mac via the share or get some other hardware to share the printer. There are a number of wireless print servers on the market which allow you to connect your printer to its USB socket and then print wirelessly from your Windows and Mac computers. Or you could look at replacing the router with an Airport Extreme, which has a USB port for a printer.
    If you want use what you have then connect the printer to the Windows computer and share it. Then on your Mac, open the Printer Setup Utility and click Add. Click More Printers and then Windows Printing > Network Neighborhood. You should see the Workgroup name set in the Windows computer appear. If it doesn't then wait several minutes and try again (sometimes it can take a while before Windows computers appear in this list). Once the workgroup name appears double click it and select the computer from the new menu. At this stage you may be prompted for a user name and password for the Windows computer. Input this information and then the printer share should appear. Select it and then browse for your printer model. Now there is a good chance that your model is not listed under the HP menu so you will have to use one of the provided drivers in the list and see which one works best for your printer. Once you have selected an appropriate model click Add. Now you should be able to print via wireless..
    Regards,
    Paul
