Yes, went into MSCONFIG and checked off that java quick start. I use time stamp so I left that alone. Ran defrag and optimizing. Seems to start up a bit cleaner now but not fast. Of course it's an old computer, too.

Correct over time a system will slow down due to nothing more then age.
Please do the following so I can see some info.
Push and hold the Windows key on keyboard. This is the one with the Microsft windows logo on it.
While holding Win key down click on the Pause\Break key
This should open the System properties window
On this window it will show
System info:
Microsoft Windows: type and version
Service Pack number
Registered Name
Register Number
Computer:
CPU type
Memory
I need all the above info in your next reply Except for Register name and number.
This is private and we don't need to know this information

OK disk space and memory amount is not the issue.
Startup items corrected per Happyrocks instructions.
Do you have a lot of programs running on the bottom right side by the clock?
