Yo. Before i bought my computer it started up within 25 seconds.. After about a year or so, it starrts up in 30-40 seconds :no: ... I was wondering if there was a way where i could "uncheck" some boxes in /run/msconfig for XP> like if i could disable some of the actions not needed for startup. and can u tell me some of the original/required items needed for starting up your computer? thanks for the help..:angel:

most of the things in startup aren't needed, like in the picture, i have nothing checked off. but imean if it looks important, keep it checked.

For optimal performance,

run >> msconfig >> startup

and disable the software you do not want to load, also, disable system services you do not want to use.

keep your system clean too...and defrag regularly.

be careful disabling SERVICES...even "safe" recommendations can screw things up and force a reformat. You can find out how here...(safe things for blackviper may not work for you)
