I recently loaded NAV 2007 on 3 machines, 2 desktops, 1 laptop. I
previously had NAV 2005 on all 3. For some reason the bootup time on
one of desktops seems to be like 3-4 minutes before the NAV icon
appears on the bottom right. It seems like the boot up process
involves scanning some files. I unchecked the option of scanning the
startup programs but it did not change the boot time. Anyone have any
idea what is causing this problem?

Sure. It's the Symantec crapware. It seems their "engineers" are good at
nothing except introducing bloat into acquired products.

Somebody has to step up to the plate and utilize all the newer processor
performance that will cause the end user to always want a newer, faster
system.

And as a corollary to the Tao of Programming which states "...all
programs will grow to fit available memory", then "...all programs will
increase in unneeded complexity to consume all available processor(s)
cycles/resources".

Symantec is doing Intel and in-turn, Microsoft, a big favor.
