Although you should expect to wait for a few moments, sometimes Windows XP seems to boot rather slowly. In fact, you may notice that over a period of time the PC that used to roar to life seems a bit sluggish instead. Fortunately, you can perform several techniques that help Windows XP get the bootup speed you want.

mystmag 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2006 My Windows has been starting really slow for the past week or so, so I simply went into MSCONFIG (Start>Run>msconfig) and disabled all the unnecessary start-up programs (the ones that don't say SYSTEM next to them).I believe that msconfig is one of the better ways to increase start-up speed for your computer.

malish 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 I've heard a lot about all those windows xp tricks, but the thing is it might not work the same for all users. Many people have their OS's modified already and changes described in that manual might lead to negative outcomes. Here's simple example that I've experienced on my own, - if you change the delay after windows shuts down (can't remember the value name), sometimes pc might freeze and never restart on its own. Secondly, shortening the delays in registry might cause your pc not only freeze but also give you errors. The problem is even greater if your pc is not a fast one. In a word all those tricks usually don't lead to any positive changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOAW 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2006 Yeah i definately think tweeking your MSCONFIG (Start>Run>msconfig) and disableing all the unnecessary start-up programs is the best way to boot your computer definately at start-up becuase it obviously wont have much processes or anything else to start-up and you'll be already set to start doing what you want to do before you know it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zdrigui 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2006 you could always use power tools to tweak xp according to your needs,msconfig is the best option to boot faster .HDD defrag are also a great option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
