i also noticed that it always has a million processes going... ok like 40 lol but... i don't know what any of them are. is there any way to make the unnecessary processes not start with startup? or to know which ones are needed and which aren't? i only know that explorer is basically windows, and ending that task will shutdown the computer...
pooo..... =( =(

there is no list
dont uncheck anything that say update explorer etc
do 1 at a time
START UP OPTIONS
click start in blue bar
run
type in msconfig
choose start up
put a check beside the ones you want to run
uncheck programs you don"t want running

Ya it's happening because you have too many unnecessary processes. First, try clearing up as much programs as you can from add/remove programs. Second, get some sort of a spyware scanner/remover such as spybot or adaware and scan your computer for spyware then clear it out. Third, google the processes from the task manager that you don't know and you should find out what they are and what they do. If you figure that they are unnecessary, then terminate them. If that doesn't help, you might be low on ram. Make sure you have at least 512MB. And if that doesn't help, it might be a serious problem, in that case i would reinstall my PC.

Go to start, run, msconfig and then a box will open up and click or put the dot right next to selective startup, and then underneath it it should have a check beside startup items, uncheck it click apply and then ok and then it will prompt you to restart it click ok and it should be fast after that let me know,

Go to run on the start menu and type msconfig and click start up and unchecked all the unnecessary processes that start with your computer.
Hope this Helps.

laptops are very convinience but when it comes down to reliable a home pc would rather be better. Best thing to do is delete unuse programs and files, to stop excessive start-ups causingloading to slow down. Alway keep the battery full during usage.
