I have a 3.0Ghz CPU and 1.5GB RAM and the programmes which run at startup are slowing down my pc. It takes like 5 mins for it to fully load once i have logged in. Some1 pls help.
Software like Mcafee Virus Scan loads up at start so i really cant disable it but how can i make it boot up faster by boosting the speed. Thanks

Open your task manager (control, alt,delete) after you start up to see what programs are running. Then go to:
http://www.answersthatwork.com/
and look up your running programs in their task list to see if you need these programs at start up. If they are important, leave them alone. If they are not, disable them. It's a learning process so don't get frustrated. Once you get the hang of what you're doing, you'll be running a lean, mean computer.
One easy tool for disabling unnecessary start up programs is the FREE Spybot Search & Destroy. First, find out which programs you want to disable at answersthatwork. Then open spybot. Click mode then advanced mode and tools will open up in the lower left corner. Click tools then double click system start up. You should see all your start up programs there. Uncheck the ones that answersthatwork said you don't need and they won't run at start up. They will run if you click on them in your "all programs" so you're not losing them. They just won't run at start up. If you should make a mistake and disable something that should run, just go back to spybot and put a check back in its box.

the only way is to stop programs from starting up at the start.
go to any programs properties and uncheck any run on start up.
hit alt/ ctrl /delete.at the same time and see what is running after you start up.
anything with system is ok but others will be programs that are running.
good luck

You will need alot of tools for this project. The tools you need are as follows. Acouple of screwdrivers a crowbar, a tire iron, and my favorite a hammer. First thing you must do is turn off the power to your pc and move it out to the center of the room. The second thing you will need to do is take your tire iron and screwdrivers and pry open the tower. Dont be gentle when doing this, the computer wont die that easy. After that is done you will need to take your screw driver and hammer and start pounding new codes on your hard drive. dont be gentle when doing this, nothing will go wrong when doing this process. After that is done take your hammer and gently tap your mother board to make sure it is in working order. After that is done you need to check your video and sound cards. Take your tire iron and hammer and hit them with mild force. After that is done put your tower back together by pounding the cover back on with your hammer with alot of force. There you go your done and you have the codes for your problem on your hard drive. Problem solved have fun.

Delete all the programs from your STARTUP folder.
