| When i use to start my comp. it would show the Windows SP2 screen and then show the icons right away, but now it will show the Windows SP2 screen and then i have to wait 1-2 mins. before it shows the icons. The only thing i did was take the side of the computer off. Please tell me any suggestions. Thanks

| | 1-2 mins and you have 700+MB ram i would really start worrying as any ram above 500mb should be damn right fast, try system restore to about 1month ago so you wont lose a lot of your media , or backup your media office files and everything you want, then do a sys restore to the first time you used it, ( thats if you still have thaat date stored) |

| Take a look at this post titled
"Guide: Speed Up & Improve XPs Boot & Start Up Time" on KLT Forums:
http://www.kltforums.com/?showtopic=3714
If you want to skip the welcome screen like I do:
1. At a command prompt, type "control userpasswords2" and press Enter to
open the Windows 2000-style User Accounts application.
2. On the Users tab, clear the Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer check box and then click OK.
3. In the Automatically Log On dialog box that appears, type the user name
and password for the account you want to be logged on each time you start
your computer.

| Have you defragged your drive lately? Hard drive fragmentation can cause slow startup and/or shutdown. You might want to do a disk cleanup and defrag.
Here's also a link from Microsoft on how to speed up your computer performance.

| | I have a similar problem for my computer. But it takes about 5 mins at the screen where is says "Window's is starting up". The screen that shows up before you can choose what user you want to log in as on the welcome screen. Sometimes the computer stays on that screen for a lot longer than 5 mins My computer isn't in the internet so it has to viruses and there is only one program on the startup that I've had there all along without any problems. The PC Booster I believe it is called. A program that I got off of this webcite. My computer has 300 some odd RAM, 700megahrts. what could be the problem? |
