Just a bit of information here....

If your pc is slow at start up, that usually means you have too many programs running. The programs in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (by the clock) are running in the background at all times. This affects your resources. To find out how many resources you have left, right click my computer, then go down and click properties....this should give you a percentage. If your resources are below oh say about 50%, that means that you have too many programs running at the same time, whether you are using them or not.

To fix this problem click the start button, then click run. Type msconfig in the box, then click the startup tab....all those programs are the ones you have running...you unclick the boxes beside the programs you don't need in your tray...then you reboot.
