Go to msconfig, click start up tab, click clean up then uncheck all programs except your antivirus software and your firewall.
for a more indept look into whats running on your pc download the following

well it starts up slower than hell. I have a lot of things checked so I am not sure what to take off or uncheck edit: i dont even know what my firewall is so i wont know what to leave checked lmao
milesfan said:
yes..use start/run/(type) msconfig
For those services that you don't know what they are... there used to be a site that would tell you... I can't remember what it is.. but you should be able to type the name into google and probably find out what they are...

i think what phreezer means is if you dont know what it is when you open up msconfig, then write down what you're unsure of and check on google.
when you type in msconfig, after pressing "start" "run", then click the "startup" tab. there you will find everything thats going on.
have a nice day

download, install, run the definitions update and run the program.....guarantee your comp will be running very quick like "Jimmmmmy" in the special olympics.
Also go here http://toolbar.google.com/

thanks alot neu. I do have kazza lite. However, a great bro is hooking me up with mirc as we speak
NEU said:
kazaa lite is good. not affiliated @ all with KaZaa and the scumbags from BrilliantDigital.com
just make sure u run ad-aware every 2 weeks and you should be good
i've never got into IRC, can't say much about it
slow PC performance is often due to a commonly ignored piece of your computer, RAM. People will have 2.4ghz, 120gig Hard drive, Nvidia Video Card, all top notch stuff and then 64MB of RAM and wonder why their computer sucks. A $75 512MB RAM upgrade can make the world of difference. I recommend Kingston ValueRAM

I think i have 128 of memory. Where should i check to see what upgrade my cpu will accept?
NEU said:
assuming you did not custom build you computer, it should have a model number somewhere on the case, or if its a dell it has a service tag....give me the make and model number and I can find what is best.
128MB is pretty low....512 is ideal, you should be able to run almost anything, unless you are a trader
Personally I have 1gig of Kinston ValueRAM.....cost me $155
