Windows startup

by magnus_mann . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hey 🙂
I have a problem with my computer when it starts up. I enter Windows and my desktop appears. Then, the Norman startup window pops up. When it’s gone again, and everything seems to be ready for me to use the PC normally, I have to wait for about 4-5 minutes until the processor calms down. It will not stop making “working” sounds, just as if it was “super”-busy opening programs or something. If I try opening a program or a folder in this period of time, the PC is working very slowly until the application opens.
I have Norman AntiVirus installed. I also have Ad-Aware 2007, Spy Bot and CCleaner. My PC works perfectly in every other way except for the startup. In “msconfig”, the “general” tab is set to “selective” and “use modified boot.ini”, and I think that is from a time when I had some problems with an error message appearing at the starup, long time ago. Maybe that is the problem..?
I don’t have many programs installed, I have tried the “WinPatrol”, and I don’t think I have many processes going on at startup. I don’t have any virus either. Not a long time ago, I had a defragmentation. What should I do to get my PC back to normal startup speed?
I really hope you can help me, of course! That would be great! Thank you 🙂
