Ok, here is lot of applications starting in startup sequence, these applications are installed by primary software like qttask with iTunes, nmbgmonitor with Nero, jusched with real media player etc... So what u have do is Go to RUN>> msconfig>> click on startup tab>>and uncheck all those entries which u seems not useful for example qttask, yahoom....,Adobe Reader Speedup, and everything else (remember don't uncheck ur grafix card igfxtray (intel) and sound card entries). then click ok and then restart or exit without restart after restart u will see a popup then check its button >> Ok and its over...

is it possible that you need to run the program instead of save? maybe you have a slow server

Go to "start".."run"....type in msconfig and check out your settings under "startup" and uncheck anything that might be slowing your computer down.\n\nHope this helps

First thing, try a major cleanup.  Click start --> all programs --> accessories --> system tools --> disk cleanup.  Check mark everything and run it.  Might take a while, especially if you've never done it before.\n\nNext, defrag.  Same steps as above and when you click system tools --> defrag.  Again, this could take more than an hour depending on the size of the hard drive.\n\nOnce you've done the disk cleanup and defrag, try running your IE (for right now, don't worry about the WMP.  Let's try to get connected to the internet.  You can always fix the WMP later.)\n\nIf you can access the internet, great.  Problem should be solved.  if not, you may have to do a system repair (you might have some XP files tht have been damaged or even lost.)  If you have a valid install CD, you can run the repair portion and follow the prompts.

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

If the reboot doesn't work, I would uninstall it and download a new one.  Might be a memory issue too.  Maybe clean up your system and defrag could help.\n\nZ.

You may have too much stored in your memory. try to delete unused files and items, then reconfigure see if that helps. Hope so. Mine gets slow when Sims is loaded, way to much space is used.

A major reason why a lot of machines start slowing down after a while is because of noncontiguous files on your hard drive.  this can easily be fixed by running your disk defragmenter.\n\nTo run Disk Defragmenter on WinXP:\n>Start\n>All Programs\n>Accessories\n>System Tools\n>Disk Defragmenter\n\nMake sure your C: Drive is selected, and then Click analyze to find out how many noncontiguous files are your machine.  If will then tell you if you need to defragement, if so, click Defragment.  It shouldn't take more than an hour to defrag.  Restart, and your computer should be running faster at the startup.\n\nIf there's no difference in the performance, from System Tools, click Disk Cleanup.  If that doesn't work, you might need to run System Restore or reinstall your OS from scratch.  Good luck!

Check your start up programs.\nSTART > RUN > type MSCONFIG > STARTUP uncheck things you really do not started at Boot up.

Well it seems to be a slowdown due to a trojan not checked by your tools.\nSo first of all make a back-up or transfer all  your data to another support. Then format the residential HDD and everything will be fine.\nIF this is too much complicate and time wasting I'll suggest a couple of links where you can connect and get better freeware to clean-up your system....let me know.\nb/regards

I had a similar problem, just solved it today.\n\n\nPerhaps you simply didn't wait long enough for the pictures to load. Try again and watch the small icon at the top...or the bar at the bottom of the page that says the computer is still uploading.

For most online work and word processing, it's plenty fast.  Your problem might be that Windows is overloaded with junk or infected with spyware - it happens even to much faster PC's.\n\nHopefully you still have a copy of Windows that you can reload.  I recommend backing your stuff up to DVD or a 2nd hard drive and then formatting your hard drive.  You can search the net for help...
