Re: Windows loads slow and crashes

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

you didnt mention whether you had SP1 or SP2 installed. You really need to
get rid of Norton's. I got rid of it when Norton's 2004 screwed up my
computer. The slow bootup is 100% caused my Norton's. It loads 8 separate
apps.

I have had Windows XP pro installed and running fine for over 3 years on a
machine. I just now see when I reboot or cold boot the pc it takes a very
long time to load XP, from before when it was faster. Also it has
rebooted
itself and when it comes up it says windows has recovered from a serious
error. I have changed nothing and only loaded the newer Symantec Norton
Antivirus 2006. I have also ran spybot search and destory to see if I have
anything on the pc and it cleaned up 5 things. I also defraged the hdd and
after doing this it loaded back to normal. But now has gone back to the
slow
boot, and when I hit my computer it takes 20-30 seconds to load. Can
someone
please help on this on what could be causing this issue? Is it a spcific
worm
or virus I can search for or something I can change?

Thanks
