[Jerry91]

Ok, guys, dont tell me to reformat cuz theres lots of stuff inside.

Heres my problem:

1) Everytime i start my computer, when at the login screen, there will always have a BEEP sound from my PC speaker. Is this a service unable to load problem ?

2) Same as "1)" but after logging in, theres still the windows sounds ding.wav

3) I tweaked XP a lot but shutting down still **** hell slow.. especially at the Logging Off message.

Some1 please help me with this problem, its **** annoying and irritating when I am not used to it.

Reformatting would probably fix this.

Seriously, though, you need to give a little more detail. I'm not sure there is enough here to get you a solution to your problem.

1) Everytime i start my computer, when at the login screen, there will always have a BEEP sound from my PC speaker. Is this a service unable to load problem ?

Is the beep you are getting a simple beep such as the PC makes after a successful POST, or is it a Windows wav being played through the PC speaker?

2) Same as "1)" but after logging in, theres still the windows sounds ding.wav

Without knowing the specifics of your sounds configuration, there is no way to know what's causing this sound to be played. My sound scheme is unmodified from Luna's default, and ding.wav isn't associated with any system events at all. Find out what system events ding.wav is associated with in your sound setup; this will provide a starting point for finding the cause of the problem.

3) I tweaked XP a lot but shutting down still **** hell slow.. especially at the Logging Off message.

If you have a lot of processes running Windows will take a long time to shutdown because it has to stop them all one at a time. Check your system tray or System Manager to see how many processes you have running that need to be stopped. When using System Manager you can also check for processes that you don't recognize. They can be signs of virus infections which can also cause computer slow-down.

A friend of mine recently managed to get his computer infected with a whack of spyware that slowed his PC to a crawl. He had Spybot S & D, AdAware and Norton AV all running, but none of them were catching the particular spyware programs he'd been infected with. I found a program online called GIANT Antispyware (you can download a demo version....apparently you can't; M$ bought them out a week ago ) that was able to identify and eliminate many of the infections.

We "fixed" his PC by reformatting, but I understand that you don't want to do that. I recommend searching the web to see if you can find another program, similar to GIANT's Antispyware, that will search your PC for infections other programs may have missed.

This is by no means a final solution to any of your issues, but I hope it will at least provide you with a starting point. Post back with any progress and/or further roadblocks, and we will help you as best we can.

Good luck, and welcome to MSFN.

Thanks, Cartoonite but I didnt want to reformat or anything like I said in the 1st sentence... well, anyway I fixed it by disabling all services using msconfig and enable those necessary services... SO MUCH OF THE PROBLEMS CAME FROM THOSE USELESS SERVICES.
