good computer booting slow

Hi, I have a Windows Vista x64. I never really minded the boot tim
since I would walk away when it boots. But when i realized that it wa
taking 3 minutes to boot, i knew that something was wrong. I'm a
advanced home user and tried a lot of tweaks(msconfig, services, BIOS
some registry) and nothing really worked. When I power on the system
the BIOS screen is about 3 seconds, then the Windows Splash(I have 'n
GUI boot"), then a 2-3minute of unactivity. It's just a black screen
the keyboard and mouse don't work. Then the Vista logo appears an
instantly my desktop. Once the desktop appears it's usuable. I rea
somewhere that 3rd party boot screens affected boot time, so
uninstalled LogonSudioVista, but same result. I defrag HD and registry
and also cleaned registry too. I have very few start up programs an
disabled them but still a 3 minute boot time. I have a great system bu
a extremly disappointing boot time. I even tried HP chat, the
redirected me to websites that I already visited. There are no externa
hard drives connected. I uninstalled all the bloatware that comes wit
HP

System Specs
Model: HP pavilion m9340
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700(2.66GHz) no overclockin
RAM: 6Gig
HardDrive: 750gigs at 750rp
GPU:Nvidia Geforce 9500g

Thank you in advance for your help:

Antivirus programs take a toll as does the side bar, especially if you have
stock tickers, cpu meters etc running.. ..

And if you were to boot into safe mode, how quick then?
Tried the boot logging start up mode, then checked the log?
What version of which AV was preinstalled?
