Is my Windows XP Pro startup slow?
I have 6 or 7 year old PC, specs: P4 2GHz processor, 746MB RAM, integrated graphics, Windows XP Pro SP2. I have 5 accounts running on the same OS, and before all of it used to load in a minute. But since like the past week or so the "Welcome" screen (don't know how eles to put it) alone takes a whole minute to load (I counted), and then the icons on the screen take another minute or so to load. So in total the startup takes like 2-3 minutes to load now (counted), before it used to take like 30-60 seconds. I only have like 12 icons on my desktop.
Btw I recently installed Win XP SP2 (upgraded from SP1) and downloaded a few new apps, like the latest Windows Live Messenger, latest QuickTime, and Windows Media Player - does that affect the speed? How can I make it faster. Thanks.
edit: RAM is 736MB (my bad, typo)
Below can help you speed up your pc:
1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
2. Temporarily close Quick Launch:
Right-click on the Taskbar, click Toolbars, deselect Quick Launch
3. Open My Computer
Right-click on C:
Click Properties
Click Tools, select Error Check (check all and fix), when finished click defrag & run.
4. Click Start, Run ipconfig -renew (type ipconfig space renew)
5. Restart. Right-click on Taskbar, click Toolbars, select Quick Launch to restore
All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If these suggestions don't help, you might need more memory.
Last, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Does a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.
