I need help with my laptop
When turning and turning off it takes awhile to shut down.Someone told
me that i have too many thing opening up when I turn my machine on. How
do I find out what to shut down so my computer will turn on faster? Any
help would be greatful.Thank you

Go to your "program manager" You can do this by hitting control alt and
delete , at the same time..It will tell you which processes are running.

Then you go to your start up menu..There, you can remove any programs
from the start up..

To solve all PC needs... BUY A MAC.

I sure loved the change! Haha.

aaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

its a mac attack

Still got Windows Me here. I like the option of going to run and typing
in msconfig which allows me uncheck which processes are running at start
up.

*whisper. Do these free programs change anything? Like home page or
well, anything that one would notice as far as everyday usage?

To speed up your computer when it boots up or shutsdown you just need to
turn off some startup items . This is all those little icons that load
on the toolbar in the lower right hand corner .

To do this go to your start menu and click run .
type in msconfig and hit enter .
On the window that opens click the start up tab on the right . If you
are running Windows XP or Vista it is SAFE to disable all but you may
want to recheck your anti-virus software if you run any . If you are
running any a version of Windows previous to XP you must leave
ScanRegistry , TaskMonitor , SystemTray & LoadPowerProfile checked in
order to boot . Anything you uncheck can be reached through the start
menu if you want to run it . This just prevents the program from booting
on start up . After you disable everything you want to disable click ok
and you will be prompted to restart the computer . Once you reboot a
window will pop up put a check in the box so that MSCONFIG wont load
everytime you reboot and click ok . This should make things load alot
faster . You can also enable the stuff you just turned off again by
going back to msconfig and rechecking it .

if ya want to help it run really fast .....












buy it a pair of reaboks

Or just buy a new computer and don't download so much crap that runs as
soon as you start it up.


Or my personal fav... when everything is just too much, FORMAT!!


I love formatting pcs. Haha.

There is a tool called "system configuration utility" that allows you to
pick n choose what you want to run on startup

go to run and type in "msconfig.exe" when this opens go down and select
"selective startup" then go under the last tab and uncheck everything
but your antivirus. there may be other applications you want to run on
startup as well but not recommended.....I have nothing but antivirus on
startup,15 or 16 processes running at all times, takes my pc
approximately 30 seconds to reboot and it's 6 or 7 years old

you can also up your virtual memory size (pagefile.sys)as well to make
your programs open a bit faster, but i'll not go into that at this time.

just do a simple defrag as well. i have a 5.2ghz proc it was running at
1.2 for some reason before i did a defrag idk why but w/e ya know?
