slow boot up

i dont know wat happened but my laptop HP has gotten very slow for the past2 days.think something with harddrives or something went wrong..if any of u guyys know the solution plz let me knwo.

 

Bootvis

 

thanks in future i ll use this.somehow i messed with tune up utilities and then later the boot up is normal..thanks tho i mite use it in future.

 

bootvis is supposed to be built into XP, but I have used it a time to help things alone. It helps sometimes.

 

it is built in ? i cant find it.i ll search.

 

Sorry XP is supposed to optomize itself for a fast startup.
Thats why you cant get bootvis from MS.

 

oh ok.lol.i took it in different way.lol.

 

My fualt. Bootvis was a tool that MS used to learn where the hang ups where located. Even though XP is suppose to do this itself, bootvis does still help out.

 

yea i understood.thanks.

 

Start > run > "msconfig"
then go to start up. Try to remove useless programs that you don't really use (ex. a printer software or something that you dont use usually) because the icons in your system tray decrease the speed of your pc =/ .

 

yea.i did the printer one earlier..but how i do i know which ones r useful and which ones rnt..apart from the very obvious ones.i cant tell with their names.anyway my boot is now normal.just want to know it.thanls

 

Just google the names to see what you need.

 

haha true.i ll do that.
