Pc Start Up.

My startup is very slow. I have done everything I can to speed it up. My pc spends a while in the welcome and startup screen loading up.

My start up used to be alot quicker.

How can I speed things up.

Any help appreciated.

    How many icons have you got down by the clock in the bottom right hand side?
    Press alt+ctrl+del, select processes and count how many processes you have, the list could be very long indeed.

    Do a Virus scan online at either of these:
    http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp
    http://www.kaspersky.co.uk/virusscanner

    Maybe post any results here.

    And before ANYONE starts on about malware and spyware, the above links check for both..

    If you try the above and it doesn't show any viruses, malware, spyware and if its not due to number of processes, try checking your hard drives for errors in windows.

    if you right click on the drive and select properties, it should be in there.
