I am running Windows XP Professoinal Service Pack 1.
My computer takes around a minute or more to boot up. And this is when i disconnect my DSL modem..when I have it in, it takes another 30 seconds. Anyone know why?
And also, can I reduce my boot time? My school computers boot up in half the time with network logins and everything, and the computers are half as fast. I have minimal things on my msconfig/startup. Only about 2 apps nothing more. I have 22 processes in total, and I regularly scan for spyware.
SOmetimes when I"m using my computer, like, I am listening to music, and try to open my Browser, it takes a while. THe computer chugs it up. Same when IM closing an old game like counter-strike 1.6. The probelm with these, is that it doesn't always happen, sometimes it just does.
PS: I wouldn't mind installing SP2 either, but , the last time I did my computer was very slow.
Thanks for any help.
