go to run..type msconfig then click start up and remove unwanted things...restart. when the pop-up comes click do not show...run your anti virus and disc cleanup in your accessories/system tools/disc cleanup and clean your disc...this will speedup your starting.

You don;t need to do all of this - I would, but just go 1-2-3 'til you're happy.
You've got a lot of unnecessary stuff in your startup routine.
Download CodeStuff Starter - it lets you manage exactly what needs to startup.
Adobe, Real, Quick, MSG, DVD drivers - all of that stuff wants to be in the startup schedule, but it's not necessary - they start instantly when needed anyway.
So, get CodeStuff Starter, reduce the things in the startup side to a minimum, and it'll go faster. It's free.
THEN!! get a free adware program - I use AdAware; and a free virus program - I use AVG from grisoft.com.
Things will be going faster.
Next, go to Control Panel, Internet Options, delete cookies, delete files.
Next, sign up on PCPitstop.com and have a checkup done - it's free.
FINALLY!! get a registry repair program, they are not free - I use Registry Mechanic. First run will find hundreds of errors, I promise.
Your computer will be a freakin' ROCKET again.

As well as the above scans, check to see what programs are being automatically started when you switch on. To do this, open your Start menu and click Run. Type "msconfig" (without quotes). Click the Startup tab, and you will see a list of programs. Clear the ticks from everything you dont need. This should be nearly everything, with the possible exception of anti-virus software.

Your computer sounds like it definitely has some viruses and spyware on it. There are quite a few (spyware and virus free. of course) applications you can download for no cost that should take care of that. Also, if you computer tends to run slower than it used to, try adding some memory to the motherboard.

Had a pal who had basically about that similar concern before and it type of feels the not straightforward disk replaced into accountable. 3 days later it crashed, 40 GB of information (which replaced into subsidized up oftentimes) replaced into lengthy gone. you need to objective replacing that 8-365 days previous hardware :) the recent ones are more desirable ecosystem pleasant and get you a lot mandatory %. i'll't imagine what might want to ensue if the CMOS battery honestly leaked everywhere in the motherboard...

The main reason for long turn on is because you have too many programmes in start up. Please use Tweak programme to limit the startup programmes.
You should also at regular intervals defrag the drives. This will speed up the boot as well as other programmes also.

Scan for spyware and viruses, and check what startup programs you have. Have you added new software or hardware? Is the slowdown after your Windows desktop has appeared, or before?

may be your system processor speed may be of the order of MHz. or else you have a lot ofprogrmas installed in your system so that it will take tie to load all the required system files to load. or else you may have more than one operating system that will take time obviously. if nothing above suits you contact your vendor please.
