1. Start-->Run-->Type "msconfig" and press enter 2. Click on the last tab "Startup" 3. Uncheck most of the "StartupItem" will prompt you to restart your machine...click "ok" next when you start up your machine, it will pop of a window with some message regarding change that you've made...select the check box and click "ok"... Hope it helps....I am sure it does a lil.
