Slow Startup with Windows ME
My Dell Windows ME computer takes a long time ( 5 min)
to startup. A scandisk window always pops up, with the message that windows did not properly shutdown during the previous session. Sometimes the computer will hang during the startup. Once I get through a successful start, the computer runs reasonably well as long as I have scanned for viruses and adware. Any suggestions? |

Slow Startup with Windows ME
Have a look at these sites for help with programs running at start up And
further down are links to shutdown and startup problems courtesy of MikeM. Joan A good process viewer will tell you everything that is running, to include background processes. Try Process Explorer, free from www.sysinternals.com .. CTRL-ALT-DEL will bring up the End Task window, however, it will not show every running process. Most apps can be disabled from within the app itself by using Properties or Settings or Options......the best way to disable an app. Here are some sites that will help you trim your startup axis......they will tell you what is needed and what is 'fluff.' http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startup/list.html http://ww2.whidbey.net/djdenham/Uncheck.htm http://www.answersthatwork.com/Taskl...s/tasklist.htm http://www.greatis.com/regrun3appdatabase.htm Tim wrote: My Dell Windows ME computer takes a long time ( 5 min) to startup.
