Solve : Slow Starting of Each New Program After Boot?

1.	Solve : Slow Starting of Each New Program After Boot?
Answer» After the Windows XP SP3 machine boots, each time a new program is opened, a long delay is experienced before the program starts. For example, Outlook takes 30+ seconds to start and the volume adjustment control takes 25+ seconds to start. Once started, the programs can be reopened with normal delay for a period of time. When computer sits idle for a long period, programs again take a long time to start. Disk defragmented Latest Microsoft patches installed Many unused programs removed Symantec antivirus - full scan run no issues Superantispy - no issues except tracking cookies Malwarebytes - no issues (trojan vundo removed two weeks ago) Spybot - run Ad-aware - run Java Updated Hijacklog file included. Another item that may be significant, during a reboot icons on desktop appear normally, but during the completion of boot, the desktop returns to 800600 resolution. Can then be reset to its normal 1600-1200 resolution manually.

Answer»

After the Windows XP SP3 machine boots, each time a new program is opened, a long delay is experienced before the program starts. For example, Outlook takes 30+ seconds to start and the volume adjustment control takes 25+ seconds to start.

Once started, the programs can be reopened with normal delay for a period of time. When computer sits idle for a long period, programs again take a long time to start.

Disk defragmented
Latest Microsoft patches installed
Many unused programs removed
Symantec antivirus - full scan run no issues
Superantispy - no issues except tracking cookies
Malwarebytes - no issues (trojan vundo removed two weeks ago)
Spybot - run
Ad-aware - run
Java Updated

Hijacklog file included.

Another item that may be significant, during a reboot icons on desktop appear normally, but during the completion of boot, the desktop returns to 800*600 resolution. Can then be reset to its normal 1600-1200 resolution manually.

Any help will be appreciate
Bill

How is the computer running now?In general, the program is running very well. The slow starting of programs has been fixed. A great big thanks to Evilfantasy.

The problem of switching to low resolution at about 80% into the boot process still occurs.

WhowardI'm not sure what to think about the low resolution. You might want to start a new topic in the Windows forum about that.

Final steps.

Click START then RUN
Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
Then hit Enter.

.
.
The above procedure will:

Delete:
ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
VundoFix backups, if present
The C:\Deckard folder, if present
The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present

Reset the clock settings.
Hide file extensions, if required.
Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
Set a new, clean Restore Point.

.
----------

Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one
Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will enable your computer to roll-back to a clean working state if needed.

Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click System Restore
Choose the radio button marked Create a Restore Point on the first screen then click Next Give the Restore Point a name then click Create.
The new restore point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
Next go to Start > Run and type Cleanmgr
Click OK
Click the More Options Tab.
Click Clean Up in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created clean one.

You can find instructions on how to enable and re-enable system restore here:

Windows XP System Restore Guide or Windows Vista System Restore Guide
.
----------

Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.

Click Start Now
Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
Click Start
Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
Update anything listed.

.
----------

Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

----------
