sundevil13 Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 My PC is taking forever to start up. It started this like 3 weeks ago. After it starts up though it appears to be alright. please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Murphant Posted March 19, 2007 CID Share Posted March 19, 2007 Did you install any new programs lately? Or gone on some not-so-recommendable websites? You might have gotten new items that load at startup. You can check what runs at startup by typing "msconfig" in run and going to the startup tab. If you find an entry that you don't recognise, that might be the problem, post the name of the entry here so we can check if it should be there. If that doesn't help, you can use bootvis to see exactly what part of the startup routine is taking so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
