No Megaupload file

[Peter Denton]

Greetings, all!

I'm trying to download some software but I receive a message saying that I have no Megaupload Megamanager.exe file. Any idea what I can do about this?

On a more general level, XP is taking up to four minutes to load, and I have no idea why (reason for downloading the software was to establish what I can delete from my startup).

Thanks and regards

Usually, taking that long to load is caused by a driver or startup service/application, and disk fragmentation can also make things take longer as well. You could just use msconfig (start > run > msconfig) and disable all non-Microsoft services and startup items and reboot to see if that speeds things up a bit, as well as defrag the disk Windows is installed on. If using msconfig and disabling those items speeds things up, just re-enable things until you find the culprit. If you want a prettier interface, you can use autoruns from Sysinternals.

After a quick google search of Megamanager I came across this app... Maybe this app was once installed on your computer and is now corrupt. Check Add/Remove Programs Start > Run > appwiz.cpl and see if theres an entry there to uninstall it and then reinstall it. As for the slow boots I would follow cluberti's advice. Be sure all your devices are fully recognized by Windows and all your drivers are up to date.

Tell whoever uploaded it to use another more sensible filehost, like http://zupload.com

I used to use Megaupload but since they started using such aggressive tactics I've not.

Click Start > Run > type in “msconfig” (without quotations). Under General > Selective Start-Up, uncheck "Load StartUp Items". Reboot. Notice a difference?

Also, you might want to evaluate your software choices. If you use Norton/Symantec, that is one cause of slow boot-up speed. You may need to defragment your harddrive and as a seperate task, perform a boot-time defrag with either PD8 or DK2007.

You do not need extra software to tell you what you can disable from start-up. Windows already contains what you need. There is never anything listed there that if disabled will prevent your system from operating normally.
