xp slow

[zaal]

my xp booting is way too slow(takes about 10 mins) though i have one of the fastest systems-p4 ht 3.0 gz,with 2 mb ram.i have disabled most of the memory resident programs.

any solutions?

virus / spyware scanned? sounds very strange..... 10 mins to boot? wow

[ixion]

at what stage? before you see the XP splash screen? after you see it? is there anything on the screen? try be a bit more pro-active when asking for assistance...

is this a new install?

did you install anything?

change a jumper on a drive, install a new drive?

Try deleting your prefetch. Also if you havent cleaned it out lately, run disk cleanup, i guess if ur running out of HDD space or its pretty cluttered it wud be gut to defragment it as it can help improve the boot and shutdown.

what about spyware scans?
