Server busy

marranomf · 10-12-2008, 01:32 AM

My computer is running very slow especially when I boot up. It takes forever and then I get a "SERVER BUSY" error and a message telling me to "SWITCH TO" or "RETRY" because the action cannot be completed because the server is busy. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try Start, Run, msconfig and stop unnecessary startup apps; in your browser, clean out History, Cache and Cookies.

Thanks. When I am in msconfig I go into the start up tab and see a lot of checked boxes next to a number of apps in the C drive Program. I am not sure what are the unnecessary startup apps and which need to be checked.

Sorry, can't answer that for you without knowing what actually starts up, and what you need when you do start. If your machine is really bad when you fire it up, there are probably several startup programs you can stop and then start manually when you need them. A careful, close look should enable you to figure out what you don't need at startup. Try Googling apps about which you're not sure.

You might find it just a drop in the ocean but every one makes a puddle.
