Windows XP Starts Too Slow

[Volcano]

Windows XP is so slow at starting and it waits minimum 2 mins to reach logging page.The bar loads at least 15 times i think and sometimes monitor loses the signal when on black screen to go to logging page, a few seconds later it comes back.When I clean the prefecth, it starts normally.

Hi Volcano,

 

Cleaning the 'Prefetch' isn't always a good idea.

It can cause things to load slowly for awhile.

Maybe it just needs a good clean out, try this and see if things improve.

 

Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.
