  If you aren't sure about something in the startup group, then leave it be.

Yes, your MSConfig is probably clogged up. And, have you thought about
adding more memory to your system? I might have spaced out when you
sent that email, and I am not sure if that has been suggested.

Rick,

There are about 10-15 programs etc loading at startup.  You're sure all I
need are the Grissoft (virus & spyware) things?  If I uncheck things there
will they stay there to recheck if I need them?

Re: [Blind-Computing] Boot up speed

Hi Al,
Try opening the Windows Task Manager, and going to the processes tab, and 
see how many processes are running.
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.

Have you tried using a registry cleaner? I have a laptop that from time to
time takes forever to boot and running a registry cleaner makes a
difference. If you haven't defragged your hard drive lately, you might give
that a try too.

Take care,

Re: [Blind-Computing] Boot up speed

2007-11-24 Thread Jacob Kruger
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.

Stay well
