Big pause on startup
Basically I turn on the PC and it boots up nicely you can then see the start menu the wallpaper and icons so it looks ready to go. However you can't run anything for about 5 minutes when the welcome to windows tune sounds. Can I get rid of this pause? I'm on Windows XP and I have plenty of extra disk space

I don't know for sure but I think you can disable the sound feature somehow if you don't want the sound to play on start up. I was gonna presume you could disable it in the BIOS, but now I'm thinking twice. Any more ideas from anyone else here?

need a little clearification-after the icons etc appear then it shows working for a while before you can click on anything? if so then you probably have a lot of programs loading on start up. .maybe you can give a litle more info.

basically it appears to be ready you can go into my computer and the start menu but if you try and run a program it won't start until the sound has played. You can't connect to the internet either. During the period between seeing the desktop for the first time and the sound nothing really seems to happen

go to start, run then type MSCONFIG
then check the startup tab and disable stuff that you dont want to load. You might also want to scan for spyware. |
