I have booted up in safe mode and that seems fine and takes a normal amount

of time to get up and running but when I try to boot up through the normal

login screen it takes forever as in grass grows faster. Once it gets to the

screen where the users are listed, it virutally freezes. The color bar

doesn't even move. You can here the HDD making a pattern of noises

(dttt...dt, dt, dt, dt). It has done this for awhile and would evetually boot

but now it takes 2 or 3 minutes just to get to the password window and it

goes to sleep before it ever boots. It's a Compaq laptop that orignally had

ME on it. It has a 20G hard drive and 256M of ram. It's been great for about

a year but now it's doing this. How do I tell whats running that doing this?

Thanks

PS, we ran Microsoft's online scan and it found a few things but it didn't

help this issue.

You need really to invest in a more RAM like 512 and also 20 GB at present

not much at all with hungry Apps and Games if you play one!

You need to weed out the unwanted Programs in the Add/Remove to free some

disk space untill you invest in a bigger Hard drive or a new computer.

 

Go through these cleaning steps:

1... Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet

Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window

you will see these Options:

General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs

| Advanced .

 

Click on General Tab (1st Tab on the left) and you will see a Button called

[ Clear History ..] click on it to clear your History caches, then click on

[Delete Files..] to delete Internet Files created over the time, click on [

Delete Cookies...] to delete your cookies left by visiting websites.

 

= Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow installed on your

browser, On how to disable the Add-ons follow this:

Click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable

the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons ( you need to Renable them one-by-one

later and see which is the culprit .

RE: XP extremely slow boot up

 

We ran the onecare scan with it in safe mode and it found a few things but

that didn't fix it. It has been running for 45 minutes now and still has left

login screen.

Re: XP extremely slow boot up

 

 

 

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance

Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

 

What errors appear in Event Viewer?

 

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the

System and Application logs in Event Viewer relating to the last boot in

normal mode . No Information Reports or Duplicates please. Indicate

which also appear in a previous boot.

 

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,

Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning

of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description

are important.

 

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double

click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a

button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event

Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of

the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from

Event Viewer.

Hope this helps.

Re: XP extremely slow boot up

 

After being able to get back to the laptop and try it, I tried to boot it in

regular mode and then in safe mode and checked the event log. Here are some

items from the start up. These bring up a question. Would a bad block make it

do this. The "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper" error is because a Dlink wireless device

is not working in safe mode.

Re: XP extremely slow boot up

 

RDT

 

You need to post only copies of Warnings and Errors from the last boot

in normal mode. The bad block error suggests you should run chkdsk. The

other errors arise because you have made your selection of errors from a

boot into safe mode. You need to go back to the lengthy boot into normal

mode.

 

Check the hard drive for bad sectors by running chkdsk c: /r. The

omission of /f is deliberate. It will not take so long and just reports.

Post a complete copy of what it says.

Hope this helps.

Re: XP extremely slow boot up

 

I had to set it up to run chkdsk when it rebooted so I guess it added the

switches. It found several bad clusters in software files that windows

replaced: file 14028, wuaueng.dll; file 17615, e_ds89re.dll; file 20317,

n07ese~1.log; file 35656, data1.cab; file 39288, esrdef.bin. After that it

booted up and event viewer showed these:Event Type: Error

Event Source: ESENT

Event Category: Transaction Manager

Event ID: 623

Time: 9:37:17 PM

User: N/A

Description:

Windows saved user LAPTOP\Caleb_2 registry while an application or service

was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's

registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no

longer in use.

 

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring

the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.

 

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

 

Also a file named LuCallbackProxy.exe has been using a lot of CPU time.

Also I have only two users but how come I have directories for

Administrator, Administrator1, Administrator.laptop,

Administrator.laptop.000, Caleb, Caleb.laptop, Caleb_2, Guest, Default user

and Default user.windows listed under users?

Thanks alot. You guys have been great!!
