Hi all,

Theres a problem Ive been having that is just peeing me off now lol After I boot up my computer (which is fine) I type in my windows password to log in and it takes absolutely ages to loads up ! It does this everytime and I do nto get any errors.

I use kaspersky antivirus and sygate personal firewall. I have scanned with spybot a number of times and also cleared out my startup of any thing I dont want, by doing msconfig in RUN.

Can anyone please help me with this - I dont want to have to reinstall the whole OS just for this !

Thanks people

Many thanks will gie that a shot now

P.s: I have also defragmented my whole computer many times !

Gave that a go, but it hasnt shown any sign of improvments

What exactly happens is that I type in my password , it freezes for some time WITHOUT the hourglass, then the 3/1 floppy buzzes then the hour glass comes up and it goes into windows more or less immediately.

Hope thats clearer ! thanks

Some antivirus programs have an option to check the floopy drive at startup and\or shutdown.
Can u go through ur Antivirus program's settings thoroughly.

Hi people,

finally FIXED it ! It WAS the antivirus. Im using kaspersky and shut off the network and mail monitoring stuff and now my computer runs much much faster overall and the boot problem is fixed !

Thank guys - this sites the besT !!!!

you could also speed it up more by getting rid of some of your startup programs, goto start>run and type msconfig then click startup tab, there you can check/uncheck what programs you want to boot up windows with.

Neo,
If read the user's first post (post#1). He had already reduced the useless startup processes.
