Boot into Safe Mode
- Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.
- Select the Safe Mode option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.
1) For Startup Processes:
Using the list I asked you to print out, you are going to take the processes that begin with
C:\ through 08 using the
msconfig utility. I have put the process name in
BOLD that you should see listed.. This will take the process off of Startup. None of these need to start on boot and run in the background. They can be accessed when-or if-you need them:
1)Start> Run> type in
msconfig> enter> Selective Startup> Startup tab> Uncheck all of the processes named above> when finished> click on Apply> OK.
2)For the 023 Services section:
Start> Run> type in
services.msc> scroll to each Service below and double click to open> set the Startup Type as given:
Adobe LM> Manual
Java Quick Starter> Disable> Stop the Service
Indexing> Manual
Then Exit Services
3)Click on My Computer>
right click on Local Drive (C)> Properties< General tab> Uncheck both the 'Compress' box and the 'Indexing' box on the bottom> Apply> OK.
4)Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs> Uninstall any program you don't use.
5)Control Panel> Java> temporary internet files> Settings> Delete.
6)While still in Java> Update tab> Uncheck 'check automatically'> answer
Yes when asked to confirm> Apply> OK
7)Reboot the computer into Normal Mode: NOTE: the first time you reboot after making msconfig changes, you will get a nag message. This can be ignored and closed after checking 'don sows this message again.'
Stay in Selective Startup.
Let me know how you're running after doing this.
