    After applying a windows update package (I don't remember
    which one specifically but it wasn't a critical update) my
    machine has bee booting up very slowly. The
    message "Applying security settings" appears on the blue
    screen that appears just prior to the wallpaper during
    boot for 5 minutes or longer and the hard drive churns
    away. Eventually windows does come up, but why is it
    taking so long? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
