one simple thing you can do is open registry editor by
typing 'regedit' at the run prompt. use the search menu
to search for the 'runonce' entry. when you find the
runonce entry, select the entry right above it, which
should be called 'run'. (there may be several locations
with 'run' and 'runonce' entries. in the 'run' entry, on
the right side of the window, it should contain most of
the programs that are set to run when windows starts up.
you can remove any of them you feel are bogus. also check
your win.ini file and make sure there isn't a line that
says: run=file.exe (or some filename). it may say load=
too.
also, task manager sometimes doesn't always display every
last task. try taskinfo --

install a program called spybot search&destroy also. it's
really helpful. http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3000-8022-
10194058.html?tag=lst-0-2 this will remove lots of
unwanted programs, spyware, and adware
you may also have a virus. get a reputable virus checker,
like norton antivirus, download all the updates, scan
your whole harddrive, keep it running live constantly.
check for updates weekly or monthly. this will prevent a
world of problems and keep your computer in good shape.
and last, check your virtual memory. try adjusting the
swap file size to something like 512mb or 1024mb. it may
or may not make a difference in performance.
