Slow Boot to "Windows"?

Running Windows 95, 6.4 Gig hard drive, 64 MB RAM,
233 processor (Intel). I just ran a thorough scan
disk, and performed defrag (x2). Upon boot up,
the system is now very, very slow on the boot
process before the Windows splash screen. I am
aware that defrag should improve performance,
and after the first 2-3 restarts, the system should be more efficient during the boot process.
What have I missed here? Frustrated & puzzled.
Thank you for your help!

Do you have a network card? If so is it plugged in to anything? How full is your HD?

I should have mentioned I was not on a network--computer used for home use without network components

1-How full is your hard disk?
2-Have you deleted temp files and dumped Internet Explorer temp files?
3-Do you have the windows 95 updates?

Contains 64 mb ram. More than 2 GB of free disk space. But thank you for your suggestions.

Check your jumper settings on your hard drive.Wrong setting will slow down your boot up.
