Windows 7 Professional slow to login

I have two Windows 7 x64 Professional PC connected to our AD domain. The domain is Windows 2008.
Both PCs take in excess of 3 minutes to login after I put the password in. It stays on the WELCOME screen with the twirling cirlce for the majority of time.
I've checked DNS and that is OK.
No login script or roaming profile.
I've changed the desktop background to solid colour as suggested in KB977346 but that's made no difference.
Wireless NIC is disabled.
Has anybody else experienced a similar issue?
