the safely remove hardware icon that is in my taskbar is bugging me so much. no i dont want to hide. and no i dont want to remove it b/c its for my wireless card.
so how do i get rid of this?? theres a program that i have that will do it but i have to click it each time i want it to go away b/c if i tell it to run on system startup it will run before the icon even comes up so it does nothing.

i went into boot mode, took about a min to load. i disabled any program from starting up and it loads in about 2 min, NIS2004 must be the problem then but it hasnt been too bad untill lately, ide like to keep it but its slowing down the comp too much.

i know about all the tricks too: msconfig is the big one.
Please explain this trick....
Tell us what you've prevented from starting up with it and what you have allowed to start up.
How many processes are there running in your Task Manager?
Is the 256MB RAM also running on board graphics?
Oh and why put the biggest heap of bloated garbage onto your machine and then complain about speed! Take the Norton rubbish off your machine, and watch the speeds increase massively.
the only thing that i am allowing to start up is norton internet security 2005

Sounds like more than a "need more memory" problem. 15 minutes to load is ridiculous.
Is this with a fresh installation of XP SP2? If you have accumulated a lot of thing on your Windows installation it will certainly take a long time to load (assuming you haven't run Diskclean and Defrag in a while).
But still, this sounds like a different problem to me. Have you added any new hardware lately? Please give more information if you can.
yes all the installations ive done is called a "clean installation" its been working fine untill lately and my hd is defraged with diskeeper pro which is rly good and i havnt added any new hardware
