Hi Charlotte,

Another common cause for this is that you have a lot of programmes all trying to start up at the same time as windows when you boot up your computer.

This can be solved quite easily by turning some of them off and only starting them when you need to....you will notice the speed difference straight away.

Ok here's how you do it:

When your machine is up and running click on start and then Run

In the box that comes up, type in msconfig and press ok.

You will now get a new box come up with a load of tabs across the top.

The first tab to look at is the one called services, click on that

At the bottom of that box you will see a little box that says Hide All Microsoft Service, tick that box and this will stop you messing up Windows.

You will be left with a list of the other programmes which do not really to load at bootup time, untick all the ones you dont want to start at bootup. I usually only leave my AVG Antivirus ticked and that is it.

When you are happy with your choices, click the apply button and then OK.

You will now get a box offering to restart the computer...do this.

Last but not least when you reboot, you will see a box come up saying you used msconfig, put a tick in the little box at the bottom where it says dont show this again, Click ok and you are done.

If this affects any programmes you like to use just go back to msconfig to the same tab and retick the box to turn them back on and follow the same steps...easy.

Might be handy to print this out if you can.

Regards......Mark.
