COMPUTER TAKES A LONG TIME TO START UP

February 16th, 2008

I have often heard about computer taking long time to start. Mostly the problem is heavy load on less rosources like small capacity ram or processor etc. Howevr the below  tips can be considered to overcome this problem.

Click “Start”, then “Run”.
In the “Open” field type “msconfig” and click “OK”.
The utility that opens will have “Tabs” at the top. Click the one that reads “Startup”.
You will see a list of all the programs that run when you start Windows. They will have check marks in the boxes to their left. We do not want them all to start.
Remove all the check marks (by clicking on them) except the ones beside “SystemTray” -  “ScanRegistry” – “LoadPowerProfile” and “Task Monitor.”  Also leave a check mark in anything that has the name of, or abbreviation of, your antivirus program or anything that looks like it might apply to “Norton” products.
Click “OK” at the bottom. You will be asked if you want to re-start your computer – do it. If, in the future, you notice things that you are used to loading when you boot up, but aren’t – and that you want to load – then go back and check their boxes
