Slow Start After Sign In
Running XP Pro, Ver 2002, SP3.
After I put my password into the sign in screen, system takes a loooong time to load my profile... How can I check what is happening and reduce the amount of stuff that is being loaded after sign in? |

You may have too many applications running in the background,
like more than one Anti-Virus software application both set to run in the 'Active Scanning' which will slow things down. If you want to dig deeper: Try Autoruns from the MS Windows SysInternals site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx AutoRuns will show/list all apps/etc. that load/run when you first boot ... (the 'Boot Execute' tab), when you logon (the 'Logon' tab) and other programs that load (grouped by labeled tabs) for easy viewing. It also provides the ability to selectively allows you to stop (use with care) any program that you don't want to load. You can undo any changes you have made. Note: To get additional details on an item in the list you can't readily identify you may need to highlight the item (right click) and use the 'Search Online' option to get the details, especially useful for the more obscure items in the list. -- JS http://www.pagestart.com "noelma" wrote in message ...

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the System log in Event Viewer for the last boot. No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in a previous boot. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. Are any devices malfunctioning? Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information. Open Components under System Summary and click on Problem Devices. Is anything listed there? Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties, Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code? noelma wrote: -- Hope this helps. Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Running XP Pro, Ver 2002, SP3.
