Sounds rather like there's a problem with the hard drive, do you hear any clicking, ticking or what i suppose you could describe as revving (the disc speed increasing then dropping back)
Also, have you had any error messages?
You could try right clicking on 'My Computer', select 'Manage', select 'Disc Management' and see what it says for the C: drive. If it doesn't say healthy then there's definitly a problem. I'll have a think about other things to try or check

personally sounds like you have got some services running that are taking awhile to start.
have you installed anything recently ?
have you got any items in the startup ? click start - all programs - startup
are you on windows XP ?
What Antivirus software you got on ?

So, did you fix it?

I fix most of the scots pc's but you are a bit far away for me to fix yours. 
Good idea to ask about the site (within reason tho), for someone who can fix it as there must be stuff on it you don't want vanilla people to see.
woo

You could try defragmenting your hard disk, but the boot up time sounds like it's Norton Anti-virus.
Norton tends to slow your machine and the more files you have the slower it gets. Norton has also been known to cause problems with PCs, so might want to try another anti-virus and see whether that makes any difference.
The mouse problem might be an OS probelem, but you can probably repair it with a copy of Norton Utilities.
Hope this helps.

On a more serious note here's a couple of things to try;
Clean the processor fan, these can clog up with dust, when this happens your pc will make a lot of noise when its under load, it will also slow down a lot.
Uninstall every programme that you aren't using via Start > Control Panel .; Add Remove Programmes
Delete any music, videos, images no longer needed, back them up first if you want to keep them.
Delete your temporary internet files and empty your recycle bin.
Do a scan for spyware, I'd suggest that you downlaod and run the following;
Adaware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Also the toolbar has a good spyware sweeper.
