When I shutdown it takes a very long time for my pc to start back up again. I am running win 98,450mhz, 256ram. Tried everthing I can think of with no results.

RE. Slow Startup

Danrak: I appreciate your reply. My PC is very slow on startup every time I shut down or restart. I have taken out startup items in msconfig, ran disc clean ( defrag), & the antivirus program is the one that came with my PC. The only thing that I can think of is that I have an external usb harddrive (80 gigs) with about 7500 mp3s (20 gigs) stored on it, that I have added over a period of time. Could this cause the problem even though I turn the power of off the external drive when I reboot or shut down.

Danrak: Thanks
I tried the sysedit and mcafee ( which is what I have )was not there. I also unplugged the usb drive, Still very slow. Anymore suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Slow Startup

Danrak: The only thing running in msconfig is systm tray & I thought that had to stay. And there is no other antivirus prog running in sysedit
