WinXP pro taking ages to start!!

[Mackem]

Hi,
Just finished new build with everything working fine, apart from the CPU speed but thats another story, when all of a sudden when the pc boots up it takes forever, after the windows logo screen, to finally load up. I've ran scan disk and defragged etc but it still keeps doing it and its very annoying. Has anyone else had this problem and how can I rectify it?

Cheers

Open msconfig, go to the startup tab. Count how many items are checked, please.

[macko72]

This list is "Designed for Windows XP", although I didn't receive the logo.... :-)

1. Defrag your hard drive. Use the built in XP defragmenter (dfrg.msc). It's the
only one that properly optimizes your system's prefetching to speed up boot time.

2. Go to Microsoft's website and download BootVis.exe. It will optimize your prefetching
even further than the built in defragmenter. Use both to get the best results: dfrg.msc
first, then BootVis.exe->Tools menu->Optimize. Also, you can use it to benchmark
your boot time before and after system tweaks and software installations.

3. Go to Start->Run... and type or paste "Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks".
This will start a built in optimization routine that runs in the System Idle Process
and shows up as "rundll32.exe" in task manager. It normally runs automatically every
3 days. It will run for 15 mins to half an hour, so don't try to do anything too
intensive while its running. If you get sick of it running, you should probably
log off or restart to be safe, rather than killing the process.

4. Delete anything that you don't need in the Start->Programs->Startup folder, and
in the Registry under HKLM->Software->Microsoft->Windows->Run and HKCU->Software->Microsoft->Windows->Run.

5. Go to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services or go to Start->Run...
and type "services.msc" to display services running on your machine. About 1/3 should
be automatic, 1/3 should be manual, and 1/3 should be disabled, IMHO. If you don't
know which to change, search google for "XP services" and read one of the many webpages
that describe each service.

6. Use a partition manager to create a separate partition for your swap-file. Set
its size to about 2.5 times the amount of physical RAM you have. You can do this
by right-clicking my computer and selecting Properties->Advanced tab->Performance
section->Settings button->Advanced tab again->Virtual Memory section->Change button.
Whew! They don't make that one easy to get to. Just don't completely remove your
swap file, cause your system might not boot after that, unless you have a lot of
physical RAM.

7. Repeat steps 1-3.

Ideally, XP on a clean install should boot in about 12 seconds from the time that
you see the XP logo to useable (can open a program). With all my device drivers
and third-party utilities, the best I can acheive so far is 18 seconds on my Dell.
Don't use Norton SpeedDisk!--It may slow your XP system boot time by about 6 seconds.

I have messed around with this a lot, to say the least, and I plan to build some
utilities to make it easier and give them away for free in the future. Wish I had
a web address to post here, but I'll be around here in the future, so check back
in this discussion forum if you are really interested, or look for my utilities in
the next few months on download.com in the Utilities section.

Good luck,

And something to read from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...storeperf.mspx

[1badtech]

It's best to do a disk cleanup first then a defrag.

[Mackem]

Ok, there are 24 items checked in the startup tab

[glc]

24??? That's why it's taking so long to start. You must have installed a LOT of software.

Post a HijackThis log, that's the easiest way to see what all the heck is running at startup. Please run HJT *immediately* after a fresh reboot BEFORE you open ANY other software.

I assume you are confirmed virus and spyware free? You probably should read the sticky thread in the Security forum first.

You have the Blaster worm already.

I assume you are confirmed virus and spyware free?

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...er.e.worm.html

You are never going to get a fast startup with AOL 9.0 installed. Comes with the territory.

Ok, I've ran a removal tool which tells me the blaster virus has gone so here is my latest hijack log.
