Re: [Blind-Computing] Boot up speed
Yes, your MSConfig is probably clogged up. And, have you thought about adding more memory to your system?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Boot up speed
Hi Al, If you aren't sure about something in the startup group, then leave it be. If you look at the path given, and find that the item in question resides in the program files folder, then uncheck it. If you find anything relating to windows audio, leave it checked as this could affect the audio for the system. If you wish, we can take this off-list, and maybe we can hookup by phone, and I'll walk thru it with you.

It sounds like a resource issue, and there may be too many processes running. Also, you should check the System Configuration Utility, (msconfig), and see how many programs are loading at startup. Ideally, you should only need your security software loading at startup, because allowing programs to load when they are not needed only uses resources unnecessarily. Additionally, there may be services loading at startup that are not needed.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Boot up speed
The only thing I can sort of suggest is to check the Event log (if you're running WinXP). Start menu, Programs, Administrative tools, Event Viewer. Then in the treeview on the left, you can check out either the Application events, or the System events, and you could even try clearing their history first, then reboot the machine, and see if there are many error/warning events in there. To clear them, just cursor down to the one you want to check out, use the right-click/application menu key to bring up the context menu, and arrow down to the clear option. Then reboot the machine, open the event viewer again, arrow down to the one you want to check out, tab over to the actual list, move up and down and you should hear basic info for each item like the date/time, type etc., and if you want more info, hit enter on it, and a dialogue will pop up where you can tab around to get more detailed information. This may not give you any useful information, but I reckon it's worth a try.
