What are the system specs of the machine? Do you have any anti-virus or security suites that boot up and scan when started.

Click start > run > type msconfig > click startup tab

These are all the components that start up with Windows when booted. Remove any unnecessary items that do not need to be in here. Examples would be Itues, Real Player, WeatherBug.

Also if you are not comfortable removing these download Hijack this:

Trend Micro HijackThis - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Hi Duffers,

You can use this list of items to speed up the performance of your computer. Numbers 1, 2, 8, 23, 24, 36, 37, and 38 can help with startup and shutdown.
