NO TOPIC the Third

You —

Well This is the new new No Topic Topic. 😛

For those who do not know, this place is to talk about nothing. Nada. Zilch. And everything else which according to you does not deserve it's own topic. (Or you could choose to make a blog post)

[url=/node/1781]The other one[/url] was getting a bit long... So we have a new start.

@ You i need your help. When the computer loads up it stays for a long time after the windows xp screen and then again after the welcome screen. I have ran all spyware, adware, malware, virus stuff but nothing has worked. I have checked msconfig and removed all unnecessary programs from startup only leaving about 4 needed ones. I have also ran registry cleaners and done disk defragment and removed some large games. Apart from system restore what other options could i try?

Frm Naz's lil bro

ps ive given him permission to use my account 😃

Is this a new symptom? how long are the pauses? do you have any programs in startup?

what a/v are you using? what antispyware did you try? What firewall?

Need more specifics.

If it is just that the PC is too slow and not a virus or anything, you can try try run >> services.msc and turn off/change to manual what you don't need - but be careful, turning off the wrong things can affect stability of the PC along with usability.

Turn off any telnet services, any remote activation stuff, netbios etc etc. If in doubt google the service.

Just started last week pauses are about 2-3 mins each. Startup items are nero check, virtual drive mount and mouse software. Anti virus is Avast!, spyware remover is spybot search and destroy, Avast! is also firewall and registry mechanic is registry thing.

try a checking the disk for errors: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 - it could be a couple of slightly damaged files.

Have you defragged the drive recently? if not, try that too.

(afaik, Nero does not need to be a startup item. get rid and start it manually when you need it - I doubt burning disks is an activity done every day.)

How long have you had pc for? if it has been quite long or if your a regular at downloading files then its probably your hard drive in every hard drives life it gets to a time like this maybe its your hard drive thats causing the problems.
