a few ways of speeding your start up, tap the delete key when your computer boots it will take you into the bios from there look for quick boot enable that and save and exit, next go to run type msconfig go to the start up tab and look for programmes you don't need when the computer loads IE: msn messenger, AOL, yahoo messenger and so on

You DO NOT want to disable services!!! That will mess the pc up badly. The only thing you should really do with msconfig would be on the startup tab where you can control what starts up with windows. The services tab will control a lot of important stuff and if you disable those, you will lose alot of functionality like your pc getting an ip address, resolving domain names, printing ability and so much more. I would stay out of the services tab!

There are several primary areas that could be causing your computer to run slow. The most likely reason is that your registry has become corrupt,you have too many programs running behind the scenes and your system is essentially running in circles with its internal processing.

You really need to know what those services are before disabling them. You can find out what services are not necessary by running your pc through the test at http://www.pcpitstop.com/ . It will give you a list of unneeded services that you can safely stop.

On your taskbar's system tray (the icons near the clock), right-click on each icon and check if they have a remove from tray check box or disable on start-up command you can check (usually in the options part).
Remove programs you don't need, defrag your computer regularly. If you have Norton, that's usually one of the culprits that slow down the computer. You can't remove it, though.

you really can't uncheck to much in msconfig - you should only uncheck programs which you know you won't be using very often and you are certain they won't screw your computer up if removed
