I want to know if there are any tools by which I can identify why my PC is taking so much time to startup and/or load applications.1 person needs an answerI do too

ccleaner has a feature where it tells you what items are being run at startup.MyPcHealth ------ Free Tools

I suggest you download Process Explorer. This freeware utility performs a similar function to the Windows Task Manager but it goes much further. For further information about Process Explorer see here:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx In Process Explorer please add a Column. Select View, Select, Columns, Process, Performance and check the box before Start Time. Next select "Show Processes from all Users" and click on the column header "Start Time". This will sort so that you can see start with the earliest first. You may need to click twice or three times. How long does it take from smss.exe loading for the main files to load? What are the files arriving at and towards the end? How long does it take for them to appear after smss.exe? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

How long (at least approximately) is "so much time"?2. What is you hardware configuration? In particular how fast is yourCPU and how much RAM do you have?3. Is this a new problem, or has it always been like this? If it'snew, when did it start and what changes did you make around that time?4. What is its performance like when the applications are running?5. What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run? Are they keptup to date?6. Have you run any registry cleaners or other tools that claim toimprove your performance? Ken Blake (MS MVP)
