While looking in msconfig "startup" I find I have a box ticked to run on startup, but it has no startup Item name or command name. Is it safe to untick this? The reason I was looking in the startup Items is that I am having PROBLEMS with programs not loading into the taskbar, sometimes they will, other times they WONT. The volume contol for instance will when it feels LIKE it, as will webroot spy sweeper. Other times no problem at all. The only thing on that line is
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVer.....


Thanking you in advance.Make sure you have free Ram, ENOUGH free space on the HDD and your CPU is not running at 100% for long periods of time.

Point to open spot between start and time on the taskbar. Right CLICK and choose Task Manager from the popup menu. Check the stats.

Shut down programs not needed.
