thnx in advance

@d

You know by now how much I know....

Anyways, just to help u out...have u tried to see what starts up dyring your booting? Type "msconfig" in the run command & look under the "startup" tab to see which applications fire up during booting....Uncheck those which u dont need ( you can very well make out which ones u dont need to start during start-up).....Leave the ones which u arent sure about.....

Do the same for services which start when u boot the comp...For that enter "services.msc" in the command prompt to get a more detailed review of which services start during booting...

Dearly hope this helps u...


Peace!
