Floppy Drive causing slow boot up?

I downloaded this program called process explorer and looking at the processes msmsgs.exe is always running under system even when its not open...and when i do open it another msmsgs.exe runs under local process...and whats even more interesting is that its running under a process tree with svchost.exe!!! Which i suspect could be causeing the slow boot ups!

I think we might have found the problem?

oh wait...found out something else...the system process of msmsgs.exe is windows messanger! Can i uninstall that? Safely might i add

 

Yeppo you can safely...

As to how read thorugh/ download this:

Removed it and restarted doesn't seem any different...

*sighs* nothing seems to be working, it only seemed to work that once

I'm considering doing a format soon...i've got so much crap lying around and things reformatting might clear some things up and hopefully solve this problem...but its still pretty annoying when you have to reformat and i wasn't planning on doing a format until i upgraded my system or got Vista or something...

Oh well maybe its a sign telling me to upgrade lol

 

Yep formatting hounestly would be a good idea!!!

Sorry we couldnt be of more help!!
