Vista's boot time suddenly slow

Hello,

my Vista booted with scrolling the green thingy about 7 times.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, it started to boot with scrolling it about
20-25 times.
I tried to turn off some programs to load with Windows (Steam, Adobe
and iTunes). Also turned some services off/put to Manual (like Printer
Spooler, iTunes Helper and so on), but that didn't help.
When I installed Windows I found out that disabling service named
Server made the boot time that short and it's still disabled.

Any ideas what might slow down the boot up process? I guess something
related to network and networking services but I'm not sure.

Thanks

Sounds like a corupted driver issue.Try System Restore day-two before
this problem was hapened

I haven't updated any drivers or installed new hardware. I haven't ever
done System Restore before and I'm not sure, maybe I've even disabled
the whole feature.
Any way to diagnose where the booting process is hanging or what is
causing it?

In the Event Viewer drill down to

Applications and Services Log => Microsoft => Windows =>
Diagnostics-Performance => Operational

Look for events in the 100 range. These are Boot Performance Monitoring
events. If a driver, service, or application is taking an unusually long
time to startup during the boot up you will find it here.

OK, I did that. Found one Warning. The info is here:

Code:
--------------------
Windows has started up:
Boot Duration : 70392ms
IsDegradation : false
Incident Time (UTC) : 7.07.2008 14:51:59
--------------------

How to find out what is causing it?

It seems that it might come from the old known Kerberos problem after
Vista SP1. "Unable to initialize the security package Kerberos for
server side authentication. The data field contains the error number."
But I guess that's not the problem here cause I've had that problem for
quite some time and no boot issues.

Is the computer joined to a domain? That is the exact symptoms of
misconfigured DNS with a domain joined computer. That would also account for
the kerberos errors.

Any new ideas? I hijcked 'this thread'
(http://www.vistax64.com/vista-perfor...-start-up.html)
but there're no new ideas. The WD HD works fine - no problems running my
pc, no errors in event viewer and so on. Anything else? I've used Sleep
for now and when I've had to restart, it's still slow.

I checked my Event Viewer, and every single entry is either critical,
error, or warning. I get critical when windows starts up or shuts down,
and errors when it goes into standby. I checked some of the entries for
warning, and one said "LogonUI.exe responded slower than expected."

Any ideas on what could potentially fix this?

All help is appreciated, cause when I start windows after turning it
off, it takes about 3 min to start Windows Explorer and the desktop.
I've been looking for a while, and I haven't really found a solution
that worked. It's incredibly frustrating, particularly after installing
something that needs to reboot.

I'm pretty sure it's not my hardware: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, ATI
Radeon HD 3870 X2, ASUS Maximus Formula, 4GB GSkill RAM, Sythe Katana 2
cooling on CPU.

GLOBALLY? PARTICULARLY?

You've only said "every single entry"... that's not detailed enough.

You need to list EACH entry, one at a time.

For starters.
