Every time i start my computer, it stays on the screen that says "starting
windows" for about 5 minutes. Then after i put in my password, it starts up
and then it loads up for another 5 minutes. The only time i know it's ok to
do something on my comp is when the pop up message comes up that says "NT On
Access".

How do i make it start up faster?? Thanx in advance.

delete all the files in c:\windows\precache. reboot.

go to www.blackviper.com for services you can turn off.

check for spyware & viruses.
