Re: Help to fix SLOW WinXP bootup

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As a test, you can deselect all. If and when you want to run a program then,
such as Internet Explorer simply double
click on it. Remember, you are trying to find what is causing your problem.

Most programs will have a means to load at startup when you click on them.
Others have a setting in the

How do I configure what I want to run at startup?

Thank you for your reply. msconfig and the startup tab only shows 7
items.

Note: Is UniBlue Registry Booster good, or bad? In the throes of
floundering around I loaded that and scanned, thinking I was looking
for the aic78xx use, and instead got over 300 registry items that were
'wrong' The details of each looked innocuous so I've ignored that
scan until later. Did NOT take any action. Remember vaguely that it
is not good to muck about in the Registry, so have left until much
later. Should I uninstall UniBlue, or follow its Registry Cleanup
steps?

The items are:
qttask
nidevmon
Reader_sl
RegistryBooster
Microsoft FindFast
Microsoft Office
Office startup

I just 'deselected' Registry Booster. Don't know what else to
deselect? I don't know what is asking for aic78xx.sys driver. Might
be that National Instruments HW Config nidevmon.exe, but honestly
don't remember what that thing is.

Should I deselect Findfast? I know it used to slow down Win98.

Regards,
Robert
