Check your start up program, type msconfig on run at start menu.
Disable the program that you dont want to start, Quick time, gammaloader etc..(except anti virus).
If you are using ATI graphic card, dont install the ATI CATALYST CONTROL CENTER. Just install the driver. COntrol center makes computer really slow to boot..!
If still slow, and you're using 2 piece ram 256, try remove one of them. And boot it again.
If still slow, there might be a virus on your computer.

If there is nothing wrong with the Ram the problem is in startup.
You have to remove unnecessary prgrammes & services from startup.Do the following -
start > Run > msconfig > enter. Uncheck the unnecessary programmes from "startup" & services from "services".
Also delete the temporary internet files.
Check for virus & trojans.
If you are not computer savy find some one for the job.

Well, could be lots of things. First, try not loading the programs in your startup folder. It's nice to just boot and work but you may be loading 4 or 5 programs and only using 1 at a time.
Make sure you are virus & spyware free. Run cleanup & defrag.
Good Luck

howdy. believe me i kno approximately this. I also have a abode windows XP laptop and workstation. specifically cases it merely gets cranky. what i might attempt to do, it worked for me, is while it does load up, run your virus scanner. A small virus must be on your records and inflicting the start to be sluggish. If that doesn't paintings, go into your administration panel and get rid of any pointless courses which you have. stupid stuff that has been downloaded by getting right into a definite website which you haven't any longer been on it weeks. attempt and get rid of as much as you are able to. If that doesn't paintings, i might recommend bringing it to the manufactering keep the place you got it from. they might comprehend greater appropriate than every physique the thank you to troubleshoot their very very own product. good success

Recently upgraded from what?
Your largest memory stick should be first in line. If this is not the case, this is your issue.

maybe it's installed wrong, usually when you put more ram in it, it speeds up. check with whomever put it in and see or take it somewhere else.
