Grey Screen

The Doctor

Registered
I have a bit of a weird problem,

I have a MacBook Pro with a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 4 GB RAM with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

When I press the power button on my Mac, it chimes normally and then sits there with a grey screen for up to 5 minutes and then all a sudden it loads OS X up perfectly. I've tried doing a safe boot, holding down alt, resetting the PRAM and using disk utility which says my hard drive is fine. The only other fault, which is odd, is when I do get into OS X, my mouse is stuck in the top left hand corner for a minute and it takes a minute for me to be able to move my mouse.

I'm starting to run out of ideas fast and was hoping that you lovely people could help me please :-D
 
Open System Preferences->Accounts pane, your Account, 'Login Items' and see if an old program is slowing the startup down.
