Re: windows startup and program startup drag

yes, i use a registry cleaner at least once a month or so.
since my initial post ive removed spysweeper from my startup programs but i
have still had the problem with my image editing program and also desktop
startup. ive also had windows explorer crash a few times so im wondering if
its related (?) i usually run one scan a week with each protection program i
have but i have found no traces of any malware/virus.
thanx.

;3069981']ive been experiencing a problem and i dont know how to figure
out whats
causing it.
i am using XP HOME. it is up to date with windows updates.
i have very little in this computer so its not maxxed out in any way.
i have spysweeper, pestpatrol, avg anti-virus, windows defender,
spybot,
zone alarm. (none of which scan on boot up or set to scan when programs
start
up.) ive run scans and have found nothing that would cause this
problem.

the problem occurred first with an image editing program. (its a top
name so
its not a concern) when opening the program, my computer became halting
and
freezing. the program was attempting to open but it was slowed to a
staggering creep. it doesnt happen every time just once in a while. i
usually
have to shut windows down manually since the program starting up
freezes
everything and doesnt open. ive uninstalled the program and reinstalled
it
several times but it still happens occassionally. now the same problem
has
begun happening when i boot up windows. when my desktop is loading as
programs are starting up. once it fully loads the computer seems to be
ok and
so far i havent had to shut it down manually during startup (i wont do
that)
but it causes my desktop to take up to 40 minutes to load. i want to
try to
find out whats causing this and correct it if possible.
again, it doesnt happen all the time, but now its happened twice with
my
desktop startup so im getting concerned.
thanx in advance.
