it takes 8-10 minutes before before i can use it...
i already removed those program in my startup but nothings happen..
i hope you can help me in this PROBLEM...

my specs: asus p5p800
intel pentium 4 2.66ghz
256 ram
128 video card

please reply if you can help...XP is slow with 256 RAM anyway. Has it always been this slow?

How big is the hard drive and how much free space is left?

What are you using for malware protection?

Any other current problems?yes it always been that slow...
every time it start boothing it always take much time...
i have 80g hard drive...
i dont have any malware protection.
do you know or do you some kind of that software?
another problem is every time i open any program it takes time to open it...
another one is the program that i already uninstalled is still on the add/remove program...

thanks for reply...Ok you could try running the computer in safe mode and doing a few virus scans

While still in safe mode run some spyware scans

And you could also try a registry cleaner...


For a real improved prformance try getting more ram just becareful there are several different types SD RAM, DDR RAM usually with two notches, one close to the center and one further to the side.
These are the physical differences, I belive DDR is faster but I am not sure, I know that SD ram is found in older computers more often so I am guessing DDR is better. but dont worry about which is better, worry about what slot/s you have on your motherboard.

You could also try a new CPU?:
The Central Processing UNIT (CPU) is responsible for interpreting and executing most of the commands from the computer's hardware and software. It is often called the "brains" of the computer.








thanks...I don't think you need a new CPU if you have a 2.66 GHz unit. The memory is a bit on the small side, but that WOULD not explain the 8 minute boot.

I would suspect either a failing hard drive or CPU cache turned off in the BIOS.

That was so helpful of you, Spero-T, to tell us that the CPU is the "brains" of a computer. I always thought it was the "lungs". Thanks for putting me right!

If you find it offensive to your seemingly incredible knowledge and cocky attitude towards computers then you should pm regarding it and not clutter up the help forums...
