Uncheck WinAmp; you can always start that manually. I can't scroll down to see what else is in there.

Have you run Norton defrag, cleansweep? How about getting spyware and adware off the HD?

I would check for viruses and spyware before messing with my system software...

Go to this website and lookup exactly what an item is before you uncheck it in msconfig. I clean mine out once a week but I always check first. This site will give you advice on whether to eliminate it or not.

If there is a process you do not want unchecked, you could reset process(es) run priorities lower or higher under "processes" in "Task Manager". Good info. in post #6

Right now, I'm running Ad-aware with its process priority set to "low." Ad-aware loves to eat up CPU time.

Guess I'll drop in here and rib you poor windoze slaves like I always do.

We Mac users don't have any of these problems.

I uncheck everything. Unless it's something you see in there you WANT running on startup.
