Guest milkman2283 Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 I have XP Version 5.1 Service Pack2 OS, Nortons Anti-Virus, and serveral programs installed. Most of the Media Center Games and programs have been uninstalled. It seems to take much too long for the PC to boot up, and when it boots, after a few moments, the screen turns black and then resumes for a few seconds before it's completly booted. What services are esential for the PC to run properly in the Start MSconfig-Services. I tried stopping on several and then the Nortons stopped working. I restarted them. What other services can I stop? Is there a link that explains what each service does? Thanks -- milkman

Guest JS Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Re: Slow Boot up Your right, I kill the Live Update Service (Via a script file) first thing after updating, then you kill it again after it runs a scan, if you don't kill it, it's will slow down a PC multiple times each day.

Its Symantec, not Nortons. They (Symantec) call the application Norton AntiVirus. The incomprehensible and non-responsible drivel afterwards may also have something to do with it as well. But you fed the anti-Norton gang, so all is well I guess. Dave
