Help with slow laptop…please read this question…?
I think my problem is programs running in the back ground and this is what is taking it so long to start up cos when I am in everything is quite quick and the only slow thing is opening new windows. So what I need to know is how to find out what is running in the background so I can remove it. I’ve removed the tool I used for my MP3 player as it was after I was copying cd’s to my pc then to my mp3 that it started so it’s something to do with them most probably. In my add/remove programs list there are some programs i don’t know what they are….anyone know what Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 , 1.1 Hotfix and 2.0 are? Do I need these? Also MSXML 4.0 SP2. All 4 have the wee computer and disk symbol to the left.
Anyway any help would be most appreciated.
I have anti virus and spyware stuff so that’s not the problem. Rebooting won’t help cos I’ve had the problem over a week now!
I’ve done defrag, and there is plenty memory. See my previous questions for more info
This is quite common to almost all computers. Every time you either start up any program or installing new software, it will automatically adds to “programs to run background at every start up”. To prevent all softwares (that you don’t need it in background although it will not remove your program from hard drive), here is the basic setup where you can determine which programs you want it to run in background (for easier access), go to Start>Run, type “msconfig” (without quotes), from there, it will pop a little box. In msconfig, there are 6 tabs. There are “General”, “System.INI”, “Win.INI”, “Boot.INI”, “Services” and “Startup”. “Startup” is the tab you will need to get into. You will see all those programs that are checked, which means all those programs (checked) that are running in background, thus slowing down your start up every time you boot up your computer. You can uncheck those programs (it will NOT remove your program and you still can access those programs by clicking start>programs). By unchecking some or all programs, it will speed up at start up and run better. DO NOT mess with the rest of tabs, those are for people with knowledge for what they are. Once you complete your task in that “Startup” tab, click “apply”, then when in prompt, click “exit without restart”, then do other things you can think of to “clean” your hard drive. Restart your computer, voila, it should be a clean start up. I hope this will not confuse you and works out for you. Any more questions, either post it in Ask or contact me. Best of Luck!
