Guest AT and HMB Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 One of my systems is taking ages to boot, while and identical system gives no problems. Is there any way I can get Windows Task Manager to show the the Applications that are running. All I can see are the processes. During the boot situation the Applications column is always blank. If I could see the Applications it would be so much easier to delete etc. Thanks. PS I use free AVG 8 and ZoneAlarm and these always seem to be slow. Incidentally, the Windows firewall system ALWAYS suggests I have neither virus checker nor firewall.

You might try Run type msconfig OK On the Startup tab you can find all the programs and background tasks that start when Windows starts. You uncheck the ones you do not want to run. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com --
