Wonder what to uncheck on the startup tab of msconfig? (Don't need to delete the programs, just uncheck ones you don't want running.) Here's the acronym I've used successfully on all my computers: Uncheck everything that doesn't start with the intials L A S or T (LAST). Works for me, though I am running Win98se. Someone with WinXP can chime in.
Actually all the ones you mentioned in your last post could be unchecked, in my opinion, even though some start with A or S. (Not the ones I keep.)
After unchecking, restart and see how the computer runs. If you are missing something you ordinarily want (like "hey, where's that Quicktime icon on the bottom that I like to use?") then go back and check whatever sounds like it. Also, you can search those wierd names on Google to find out.
Alright, cool let me try it..THanks. If you don`t hear from me again them my computer blew up. lol!!
YES!!! Guess what? I did it, I unchecked everything using that LAST system and it worked!! It booted right up 1-2 -3, no lock ups or nothing! FINAAAALLLLY!!!!! YEEESS!!!! Alright, how much do I owe you? Do you take checks or money order? T H A N K S !!! I bet you my computer will have more memory to use now as well. FREGGIN` GREAT!!! YAH!!!
