too many programs starting up at start up making it to slow and my help and support service isnt working1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi you can disable those by:Start -> Run -> msconfigselect startup and disable what's not required..Hope this helps.

How do you know that?What is the CPU and how much RAM does your computer have? Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties to get this information. Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak? I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report. Open Disk Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents Folder. Open the file, and place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edit, Select All to highlight all text and copy and paste into the body of your message. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it is more informative.Do the next suggestion only after you have got the Disk Defragmenter Report.Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to empty your Recycle Bin, remove Temporary Internet Files and other selected options. I also recommend you click on the More Options tab, System Restore and remove all but the latest System Restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter.Using the System restore option is most appropriate when your system is running slow and you need to increase free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors which might be resolved using System Restore to put your system settings back to before the error first occurred do not use this option.If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user Log on you need to run Disk CleanUp in each user profile to remove all unwanted files.A better programme than Disk CleanUp is cCleaner but note that cCleaner will not handle System Restore points. Removing older restore points can be important if you have limited free disk space. cCleaner comes with a Registry tool. Do not use this tool as like any registry cleaner it can lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadHave a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any from than more than 48 hours ago. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report into your Clipboard. Paste into the body your message. Make sure that this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

What's important is what programs they are.Here's my standard message on this subject:First, note that you should be concerned with all programs thatstart automatically, not just with those that go into the system tray.Not all auto-starting programs manifest themselves by an icon in thetray.On each program you don't want to start automatically, check itsOptions to see if it has the choice not to start (make sure youactually choose the option not to run it, not just a "don't show icon"option). Many can easily and best be stopped that way. If that doesn'twork, run MSCONFIG from the Start | Run line, and on the Startup tab,uncheck the programs you don't want to start automatically.However, if I were you, I wouldn't do this just for the purpose ofrunning the minimum number of programs. Despite what many people tellyou, you should be concerned, not with how many of these programsyou run, but which. Some of them can hurt performance severely, butothers have no effect on performance.Don't just stop programs from running willy-nilly. What you should dois determine what each program is, what its value is to you, and whatthe cost in performance is of its running all the time. You can tryinternet searches and ask about specifics here.Once you have that information, you can make an intelligent informeddecision about what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.Ken Blake (MS MVP)
