Boot up slow how to overcome

Having problem with slow boot time or is it taking long to resume ?

There are a variety of reasons why your windows XP system would boot slowly.

Most of the times it this has to do with the startup applications.

If you would like to speed up the Bootup sequence, consider removing some of the startup applications that you do not need.

Easiest way to remove startup apps is through System Configuration Utility

Before you start remember this is dangerous stuff and make a System Restore point before starting

Also double check everything that you do before doing it.

Also make a back‐up of the Registry as follows:‐

Click the Start Menu.> Go to Run

Type in the box type Regedit Press. Enter

Click the ʺRegistryʺ (or ʺFileʺ) menu > Click ʺExport Registry File...ʺ

Now be careful to choose an easy to remember location in which to save the file, and an easy to remember name.

At the bottom of that box, under Export Range, there are 2 buttons,

Click the one that says ʺAllʺ, and then click Save

You will be sorry if you do not take the time to do the above if something goes dreadfully wrong Go to Start > Run in the box type MSConfig OK

Then go to Startup tab and deselect i.e. remove the tick on the applications that you do not want to startup at boot time. If this works, wonderful !!

If not you can also look into SERVICES tab and possibly deselect WORKSTATION option and see if that helps.
