connection

[johnchas]

I'm running Wondows XP Pro.

 

At startup, it takes a long time to get my broadband connected. AVG and Zone Alarm come up pretty quickly, but getting connected to my broadband takes some minute or more longer. Why ? Can this be speeded up ? If so, how? I've tried, but can't find anything to help.

Loading time all comes down to how many programs you have in your start up list in msconfig mate.

How do you connect do you dialup or do you have a router? What takes the time? When the internet starts AV, MS etc will often hog it while they check for updates normally AV is straight on after updates so your safe

Hi

from when you turn the PC on and see your desktop, do you try to connect to the internet,.,,,

Wolfey maybe right, if it is to do with all the programmes, devices etc loading at startup then that will cause this.

try turning the pc on then leaving it for 10 minutes and re trying,,,,this may work, but also may not depending on the resources of your startup programmes.

 

can you do this. go to start>run type in (no ") "msconfig" then click on the startup tab....note down what is ticked then post it back here......we can then tell you what to untick thus speeding up your load time.

hope that helps a little...

 

what is your isp, and the specs of your machine...
