go to 'run', type in 'msconfig'

go to 'startup' - deselect EVERYTHING

re-start computer, clear browser history

Call me in the morning.

Did you sort this out then?

I did indeed.I had remnants left over from BT broadband,they had somehow 'come on' and i suppose were trying to do things :?
The anti-maleware program found 3 items from BT and fixed them,whether that was the whole or part problem i dont know,but it seems to have resolved itself since,so im a happy bunny again

using windows xp?


go to 'run', type in 'msconfig'

Call me in the morning.

Along with a computer tech guy to reinstall everything

I wouldnt recommend anyone do the above

and you've given this exact same advice twice and said exactly the same way :shock:

Why? This stops stuff on start-up and speeds the computer up as its has less faffing around to do. Standard stuff. It does no harm whatsoever... :roll:

OK
So i un-tick all the boxes
which includes the stuff from my online security.i dont think i want to stop that from running on start up :?

I have also found something strange in the list that has be unticked,there is some BT stuff still in there that that isnt supposed to be there
but im still not convinced its totally safe to do it LGF :?

It was a standard thing to do in XP for the Comet, DSG group, Toshiba, Acer, ASUS, Samsung and HP service contracts while I was working at a service centre.

I cant remember the exact 'thing' it does but it only disables programmes in start up like MSN or viruses that send out multiple emails and stuff like that. Other security remains part of the core start-up process which you could only disable by removing the program. Things like AVG carry on as normal.

everything has started fine on the restart
There should be a 'sigh of relief' emoticon.

But ill get a second opinion so to speak before removing anything else :?
