well, a little more ram could help, but here are some other ways to make your startup and shutdown a little faster.  the reason it is so slow is because some programs startup automatically when windows start, but there are way to elminate the programs you don't want starting.  here are few articles on how to do it.\n\nhttp://help.cnet.com/speed_up_start_up/9602-12576_39-0.html?messageID=2508332&tag=tip-2508332&kw=speed+up+start+up\n\nhttp://help.cnet.com/speed_up_start_up/9602-12576_39-0.html?messageID=2505921&tag=tip-2505921&kw=speed+up+start+up

Try number 3 as it is the easiest and quickest way to improve speed.\n\n1) Increase RAM (memory).\n2) Increase free disk space (remove unneeded programs from hard drive, delete temp files and folders, switch to a larger hard drive, add a second hard drive)\n3) Reduce the number of programs running in your system tray/at startup. You can do this by going to Start > Run > type "msconfig" > go to the StartUp tab and deselect everything except critical programs like your anti-virus.\n4) Scan for/remove spyware/adware/malware. \n\nCheck out Advanced Windows Care, it will help with most of this automatically and it's free: http://www.iobit.com/

There's a cheaper way to do it, but it will take some time.  Just click on the start button, click on Run, then type "msconfig" without the quotation marks.  Then, click on the Services tab at the top.  Services can be disabled from there.  \n\nJust realize that those services aren't what's slowing your computer down.  To speed it back up, click on the next tab to the right, Startup, and stop all of that trash that's in your system tray (next to your clock) from running every time you start your computer.  You'll notice a big difference, espcecially if your laptop is an older one.

Like was already said you can format and install\n\nOr install win98 and do a repair on win2000 then you can have both at teh same time.\n\nHowever, the hard drive needs to be formated in fat32 to load 98.

Go into msconfig and turn off programs that you don't need to start when Windows does.\n\nAlso scan for viruses and spyware.\n\nClean out temporary files, use disk cleanup and defrag

Go to Start Menu, click RUN. \nType msconfig and hit enter. \nYou should see a pop up box.\nGo to Startup tab and uncheck all the programs that you do not want on your start up. \nThis will prevent those programs from starting up when you restart windows. \nThis will usually make your computer go a little faster if you have do not have much memory on your computer.\nYou do not want a bunch of things running in your background during startup if it is not necessary.\n\nYou might want to change your fan. You can get some cheap ones at http://www.newegg.com or http://www.tigerdirect.com \n\nJust get a new fan to replace the old one unless you just want to purchase a new computer.\n\nIf you want a smooth computer to go faster, then you might want to buy more RAMS for your PC. RAMS will allow you open as many programs as you want all at once and it will launch your programs faster. Go to control panel and then SYSTEMS and under the general tab will tell you how much RAM you have. If you only have 128MB or 256MB, its time for an upgrade. Get about 512MB to 1GIG...its very simple to install. \n\nIf you have problems, just let me know.
