    I have a 4 year old HP lap top running XP SP-2. It's a Pentium4, 2.66GHz, 4G ram, 60 G HD half empty. I have used the current vers. of Norton Internet Security since it was new.

    About 6 months ago I noticed it take forever to boot up - like 5-7 minutes. After that it runs fine. I wanted to list my start-up files but forget where to find them. I did check a few weeks ago and the list wasn't that long.

    Any ideas guys?

    I was getting ready to install a new printer on to my wifes computer and she mentioned that she wanted the old Lexmark program removed. I went to control panel, then to add and remove programs and began the normal removal process. After it said removal was complete, it said to restart it. Well, after it was restarted, it never came back on. Nothing, nada, zilch. Nothing on the monitor at all. The computer fan is still running but nothing is coming on to the monitor. Ive tried to shut it down and it wont. I unplugged the power cord and it wont reboot.

    Please help.

    Thanks,

    I did a system restore on my comp today. Instead of restoring to an eariler date it restored to the orignial factory settings.
    Good news is I got rid of a bunch of usless crap. Bad news is I lost everything else I had saved.
    Question is, can I get any of the stuff I need back, or is it gone for good?

    There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;the fun is having lots to do and not doing it.

    The thread titles appear a very dark blue or black color. In the past after I had viewed a thread the title would be a much lighter shade of blue. This has ceased to be the case and they go back to the original dark color and I can't tell what I have read and what I haven't.[V] Any suggestions please?

    To start with, I got this computer used, and it didn't come with any windows disks, so I can't re-format it. It uses windows XP pro,

    I have been having this problem with my computer. The message that I have done a screen shot of, started a couple days ago. I gives me this message every time I go to a new program. When I start it up, of course the are like 10-15 of these messages that come up. These messages, in the upper left hand corner of each message has a different program name of course, but the message is the same.. Ones I get into a program. I no longer get this message about that particular program.

    Now let me tell you what I have done so far to get rid of this, About a week before this started, I down load an ad-on to my AVG security stack, and also down loaded Google Chrome. So I deleted both of these thinking that one or both caused it, no help. I also done a restore to a known good restore point. No help there either. So I just done a "scan for bad sectors and attempt recovery. Still no help.. Does anyone know how I can fix this? here is the screen shot of the message I get

    BTW: I tried resizing the screen shot to make it easier to read, but it just distorted the words beyond recognition

    I try to sign in at our community center web page and everything goes fine till I try to book a event. My computer takes me to a different page and won't let me book the event. The kicker is I can use my wife computer and use the same directions and get the job done. What has got to my computer and keeping me from doing the right thing. Sorry I'm confused

    go to start type in config.exe it will take you to actual startup, not that crappy one in windows, but be careful, and don't go crazy, know what you turning off, if you have to cross reference each application in google it will be time well spent


    how many gigs of ram is your xp recognizing?, not on startup but in system

    1911 is on to something there with the ram. XP can not recognized any more then 2GB anything over is wasted. You probably have 256mb being used by your video.

    Do a clean up and defrag before you do anything else.

    Norton is a resource "hog". Check your cpu usage and memory and you will see that it is a "hog".

    Also if you don't use them already, go here
    and download (free) Adaware 2007---check for updates and run it often. Go here and download (free) Spybot Search and Destroy---check for updates and run it often. I've used both of these programs for years and guarantee both will find "critters" in your computer that Norton never will find. Malware/spyware can slow a computer down among other things and both Adaware and Spybot will locate most of these "critters" and eliminate them.
