go to device manager and makesure you have no yellow exclamatin marks.
Make sure everything installed (video,audio)
if you have a sound card make sure your on board sound is disabled
newest drivers?
If it makes you feel any better i timed mine....and it takes a long time too.
I think out of 5 times the slowest was 38seconds
