Slow startup

[XtremeMaC]

u can close everything on that screen

if u're on trial period of mcaffe or something get rid of it

look at mine I've corp (dled from my school free) it only launches 1 files (though it opens 2 services)

other than mcaffee u may delete the others

i don't know the programs so u might need them. what's tfswctrl? what do u use it for? ctasio?

updreg? sentry gun?

u can close ctfmon. but it usually comes back

I took that test at pcpitstop.com and it said to defrag my hard drive. I did that last night and the computer is still slow on login. Is it safe to take out power reg scheduler v3 from the startup? Cftmon.exe is still running even though I clicked it off from startup using msconfig. How do I make it stop running? By the way I really appreciated all the help. Thanks alot people.

reg scheduler is something u've installed I believe it doesn't come with xp.. at least i've never seen it

ctfmon as I mentioned earlier with come up

u've to delete the whole thing

I use "startup control panel" - better than using msconfig

It's a control panel extension that shows you whats starting up in each of your section, HKLM, HKCU etc.

pretty good, go to www.mlin.net to dl it
