Do you have too many start ups and open progs? They take up memory. Keep and open only necessary and the rest move to a folder of unused apps. Also defrag your drives.

Hello bd35,
Welcome to Fixya!
When you say "slow to boot, very slow in all other aspects." There is a change that your computer might have been infected with a virus. But let's not jump into conclusions, I'm just setting proper expectation here that that can be a cause.
You might want to consider: - Disconnecting extra peripheral devices i.e. printers, scanners, USB flash drives or ext. HDDs - Disabling all the start-up items and services, here's how: 1. Click "Start" 2. Click "Run" 3. Type "msconfig" 4. Go to the "Startup" tab and click the "Disable All" button 5. Go to the "Services" tab, check the "Hide all Microsoft services" check box, and click on the "Disable All" button 6. Click the "Apply" button, and the click "Ok" button. 7. Then "restart the computer.

This may not do anything, and you may have already thought of this, but here goes...

1. Take out the SD card if you have one in the camera.

2. Remove the batteries and leave them out for 24 hours. Put in GOOD batteries and DO NOT PUT THE SD CARD BACK IN THE CAMERA.

3. Power up the camera. See what happens.
If you face the same problem then you have to reinstall the fireware from service center. Thanks.

I had this same problem years ago, couln't fix it in any way. Tried the description on http://www.oborona.net/stuff/qv-r40/eng/index.html (reloading firmware) but even that did't work. Found my old qv-r40 today, and gave it one more try using the above mentioned solution of updating the firmware. Even though I only did again the same as a few years back (updating the camera with the same firmware), this time it worked. Got my old camera working again!
So I suggest you try the solution by oborona.net, and if it doesn't work get the batteries out and wait for a few days before trying to update the firmware again. You might be lucky like me.
