I have gone into the Start Up Menu and there isn't anything there.   It just seems like I've got a ton of things opening when I turn on the computer.   I know XP uses MSCONFIG, does 2000 have something similar?

If you haven't got MSCONFIG, you can copy it from an XP machine to a Win2K machine and it works just fine.\n\nPut it in C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32 (or C:&#92;Winnt&#92;System32 depending on your Windows folder) and run it from the Run dialog.

Start->Run->type MSconfig\n\nThen go to the startup tab. \nIt should be under there as whatever the process name is. Just uncheck it. Hit apply then when you computer restarts a window pops up telling you that things have been changed. This will pop up everytime so hit that do not show again message. Everything is still ok.\n\nOr go under start menu->all programs->start up\nAnd delete the short cut out of there if there is one. If not do the other thing i said.

reboot and when windows starts to load I think you hit F8 where you'll get an option of "startup types" or something like that.\n\nlook for something called "normal startup"\n\nbeen a while since I've seen windows 98, so my recollection is a bit fuzzy, sorry if this is no help

What program is it? Try right clicking it in the taskbar and looking for "properties" or something similar... lots of times there's a box you can uncheck to disable starting up when windows starts.\n\nAlternately, goto the start menu and hit "Run..." type msconfig and hit enter.... Hit the last tab called startup and look in there for the name of the program and uncheck it, and it wont startup again. You may have to expand the column that tells the location of the file on the system to figure out what those processes are for, because sometimes the names can be a little vague.\n\nHope that helps.

Don't use  MSCONFIG\n\nTo manage your startup programs, use\nhttp://www.snapfiles.com/get/starter.html\nor\nhttp://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml\nalso see = \nhttp://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm

as you load more and more stuff onto your pc, there is more and more stuff that windows has to search through to find the files it needs to start up.\n\nI would consider getting an application which can defrag your startup files and place them at the start of the drive.\n\nThere could be a corrupted driver that ste startup struggles to process which could slow the whole thing down. Defrag the drive and see if it starts up any faster. the Defrager built into windows XP does an aokay job but i might want to consider something better like O & O DEFRAG.\n\nhttp://www.oo-software.com/en/products/oodefrag/pro/\n\nor Iolo's system mechanic 6 also has a whole host of features to fixup some problems\nhttp://www.iolo.com/sm/index.cfm\n\nUnfortunatly, i know of know free, better defraging alternatives to MS Defrag.\n\nOn a lighter note you might want to see what's starting up and in what order.\nhttp://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/LoadOrder.html\n\nIf you know how you should disable some of the unnesasary stuff that runs during startup. Goto START > RUN and type in MSconfig. Click on the STARTUP tab, and uncheck the items that you think/know are not neccasary for starting up.\n\nI hope that helps.

Follow These Steps:\n\n1. Go to Start\n2. Run\n3. Type in "msconfig" (this is the system configuration)\n4. Go on the startup tab\n5. Check the box of the program you do not wish to start up.\n6. There will be a promt to restart. If not, restart anyways.\n7. A message will appear when the restart is complete. Check the box which says "do not show at startup"\n\nTHE END

u shall hv to change the preferences of these programs. Now these prgrammes on ur laptop are set in a way that they automatically start up. Find the preferences sections of each programme and uncheck the box of automatically start up. Sometimes preferences are given in options and settings also. So do check all these three things. I hope it will certainly help in solving ur problem.

If you have Windows Xp all ready installed, just click on the start button (left side of toolbar, left down corner) and select (by clicking) the Activate Windows option\nFrom that point your Windows will tell you what to do\nAll you want to find out more about the process is here:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?id=307890

I have a friend that had the very same thing not so long ago, I don't remember what that program is, but go to start>run>type in msconfig go to the startup tab and you'll see a list of programs that are starting up when you boot up your computer. \nYou can then either post them back on here (just edit your question above), or google search all of your startup programs until  you find that particular one

I will tell you. When the machine restarts, it will ask you to "Press any key to run setup..." or something similar. Do not press anything at this moment. Then the setup will continue itself. If you press any key, then you will be looping the XP setup.

Maybe you have a lot of programs in your startup folder. Check \nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;All Users&#92;Start Menu&#92;Programs&#92;Startup \nand \nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;yourname&#92;Start Menu&#92;Programs&#92;Startup\n\nAnother good place to check is the Services in Control Panel to make sure there are not a lot of unnecessary services starting automatically. If you are not comfortable with stopping services, see if a computer savvy friend will help you.

start menu does not have option to turn on or off. Therefore, if it is disappear, you probably delete one or many system file. Recover the windows to get it back. How?\nPut windows XP CDrom into PC, turn on you PC, choose fix windows, NOT install new windows, so all your installed softwares and documents stayed the same, it only fix the problem.
