Hi everyone im new here and had a question .when i turn my xp on and put in my password it takes over a minut before i can get on the internet.what could be the probem?Rick

Welcome to DAL.

Is this a new problem?

If it is try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore

If it is not a new problem let us know and we can show you how to edit your startup list.

no its not a new problem several weeks now and i try to reboot but it will only let me go back so fare .i had this pc built a year ago .it seems to run fine till i restart it in the morning .it goes right to letting me put in my password thats when it takes so long and when i click the internet explorer it takes time then like something is downloading before it will allows me to get on the internet .

Try CCleaner

CCleaner - Home

Not only can you clear out your temporary files but you can also edit your startup items via Tools > Startup.

You have the choice to Disable rather than delete so you can always go back and re-enable entries.

The only thing absolutely necessary to start is your anti virus and firewall if you run one.

You can also run the Disk Defragmenter via start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter

You can also run Check Disk:

start Run... and type: cmd

Then type: chkdsk /f

You will be told the volume is in use do you want to run chkdsk on next boot? Type: Y and reboot.

thanks for the help i went with the cmd.so for so good and again thanks

Thanks for the update.

Let us know if we can help further.
