Re: computer slow

Have you made sure the system is clean of spware/adware etc?Checked if its anything on startup that may be causing this? RUn a disk cleanup and then from safe mode, run CHDKDSK and then defragment, not doing these regualrly may be one reason for a slow boot.

Re: computer slow

hi ...

it means that you have to run chkdsk from safe mode (not CHDKDSK though) .. just boot from safe mode and then at the run... type CHKDSK and press enter .. also defragment your drive and uncheck any unnecessary items from startup by typing msconfig at the run ...

Re: computer slow

hmm ...

well what you could try is doing selective startup and putting a tick to all the settings except load startup items .. and select use original boot.ini .. and also in the win.ini you can unselect anything unnecessary after the first five options .. the first five are crucial .. an d on the startup .. unselect everything that is unnecessary ..

Re: computer slow

If by "nvidia windows xp display" you mean the little icon that runs in the system tray, that isn't your problem.

If you want to try to clean up your machine, you can use the guide that I link to in the bottom of my sig. You might be better off backing up what you want to keep, formatting the drive, and reinstalling Windows.
