Did you run some of those programs manually?

Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, Outlook, Internet Explorer, etc.

Go to Start->Run and type in msconfig and hit OK. Go to the Startup tab. Tell me what you see there that are checked. I don't need the unchecked ones.

Download CleanUp! http://cleanup.stevengould.org/ (Alternate Link if main link don't work - http://www.greyknigh...spy/CleanUp.exe ) and install it. CleanUp! deletes EVERYTHING out of your temp/temporary folders, it does not make backups. If you have any documents or programs that are saved in any Temporary Folders, please make a backup of these before running CleanUp!. Run CleanUp! and click on the Options button. Uncheck 'Scan local drives for temporary files'. Also uncheck those two Newsgroup entries if you don't want to delete them. Click OK and then click on the CleanUp! button. Let it run. After it's done, choose Yes to logoff.

I don't know what else can be causing the problem. It's slow overall right? Not online?

Did you install any new software or hardware before this slowdown?

[msiz]

yes slow all the time - especially on start up and shut down. dont think I installed anything new prior to the slow down

[greyknight17]

Hit ctrl+alt+del and go to the Processes tab. Sort it by the last column (usually memory used) to see which programs are using lots of memory.

Give me these logs:

Right click on http://www.silentrun...ent Runners.vbs and choose Save As...Save it to your Desktop. Make sure you have disabled any programs that may block/disable scripts (ex: Ad-Watch, TeaTimer, Norton, etc.). Double click on 'Silent Runners' to run it. This will take a few minutes. It will create a file called 'Startup Programs' followed by your computer name and current date. Open up that file and post all the contents here in your next post.

Download StartDreck http://www.greyknigh.../StartDreck.zip

Unzip to its own folder and start the program:
Press 'Config'
Press 'mark all'

Uncheck the following boxes only:
System/Running Process -> List Modules
System/Drivers -> NT Services
System/Drivers -> NT Kernel- and FS-drivers
Press 'OK'

Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file (default is the same folder as the application)

Post the log in this thread.

These are the largest processes running:

svchost.exe 22712K
vsmon.exe 15136K

OUTLOOK.EXE 12620K

svchost.exe appears several times (22712, 5028, 4692, 4472 4348) - dont know if that makes any difference!

Go to C:\WINNT\ and double click on wininit.ini to open it. Delete these two lines:

`NUL=C:\DOCUME~1\LINZIS~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\bdl14025.exe
`NUL=C:\WINNT\downlo~1\ymsgrins.exe

Save the file and close it.

Do you get this slowdown once you login to Windows? I just want to make sure that when you say startup, you mean that you didn't run MSN Messenger, Outlook, Yahoo, etc... yet right?

Yes, those several instances of svchost.exe is normal.

[msiz]

deleted those two lines!

My PC takes ages to log into windows and once I am logged in and try to log into Outlook MSN Yahoo etc, takes ages also!

[greyknight17]

I'm thinking that it may not be software related anymore.

Are you connected on a network? If so, unplug the network cable and see if that speed things starting up and shutting down.

[msiz]

no Im not connected on a network. Just a stand alone PC on a broadband connection.

[greyknight17]

OK, unplug that network cable or wireless card so you have no internet. Power on and see if it's still slow. Shutdown and see how that is also.

[msiz]

nope, still the same

[greyknight17]

Ask this question in the Windows forum to see if anyone has any other ideas. As far as I know now, you are all clean.

If they can't resolve it, post back here. Post back either way to let me know if the problem was resolved or not.

[msiz]

will do. thanks so much for all your help, I really appreciate it. willlet you know how I get on.
