This is my first time at your site.
Computer is slow to load at start-up.
Runs DLL32 and svchost a lot and then settles down after 5-10 minutes.
CPU utilization goes crazy till finally settles down, then 2-20%.
Dell Dimension 4600 Pentium 4 2.8Ghz
1 Gb of Ram, 1 TB Seagate hard drive.
Windows XP SP 3
Have run Malwarebytes anti-malware(full-scan),Regserve, and have de-fragged HD. . PC is faster then before but someting is still hanging on start-up.

Attached HiJack log and start-up text for you.
Any ideas would be welcomed.

Open Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab, and UN-check:


+ "Adobe ARM"
+ "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher"
+ "CLMLServer"
+ "DellSupportCenter"
+ "SunJavaUpdateSched"
X "Messenger (Yahoo!)"
X "Search Protection"
+ "YSearchProtection"



When done restart computer and then:



Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:
It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged


Also i would like to see your MsConfig Startup list. Please do the following and make sure everything can be seen before taking the screenshot.

Lets see what you have in your startup

Please click on
Start and then to Run
Type in msconfig and press Enter
Now click on Startups
To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop

Thanks for your help. System takes a while to load still, but once desktop appears seems to settle down much quicker (CPU utilization 2-20%)after initial load. Most from Windows Media Center Network which I'm ok with. I can disable when I don't use it.
Here are three snapshots of MSCONFIG startup. Window was too small for all info. As you can see, I have disabled many already.
