RE: Start up very slow on XP PC - May be programs on startup

Jerry,

you can upgrade xp home to xp pro. There are up upgrade CDs that you can
buy that allow this and I have done it several times. I don't need to
reformat. I was hoping to get an answer from someone on start programs that
I listed in my e-mail note and whether or not these are necessary.
