What Makes Computer Start up Slowly

We may find that computer's starting speed becomes slower and slower, then what causes the problem? How to speed up computer. There are several reasons and solutions:

First, there are too many procedures to be loaded when starting computer. Your computer has to start some other application softwares besides relevant drivers, and we call these procedures set-up procedure. These procedures not only slow the starting speed, but also occupy computer resource and internal memory. Generally speaking, we can delete these set-up procedures in the list of “start”, but if we want to delete some procedures such as QQ. MSN thoroughly, we have to open “attached application program”, then “system tool”, then “system information”, choose “tool”, click “system configuration edit routine”, there will be the set-up procedures when start the computer in the message box of “start up”. You can input Msconfig in “operation” text box if you use Xpsystem to open “system configuration application program”.

Second, there are too many desktop icons on the desk. Many users put different kinds of shortcuts of software and games on the desk to be convenient when using, but this will slow down the speed of starting. Because every time Windows starts and shows desktop, it has to find desktop shortcut and load them one by one. Starting speed will be slow if there are too many icons on the desktop.

Third, some anti virus programs provides system start-up scanning function, and this will cost much time. Actually, if you have opened guard function on true time, start-up scanning function is unnecessary. We suggest users put desktop icons that are not frequently used into a special file or delete them.

Fourth, do not set wallpaper on desktop and shut down activesktop. Users may not find that wallpaper is a waste of computer resource. Besides, it will slow down computer speed when it operates some application programs. Users should shut down wallpaper to speed up PC. Click the right button on desktop, click “content”, then choose “no” in the dialog box of “setting”. We suggest that change the presupposed of desktop from blue green to green in the dialog box of “appearance”. As for shutting down activeshop, that is to shut down web screen on the desktop. Click right button on the desktop, choose “content”, then there is wallpaper named windows 98, that is the web screen.

Fifth, delete some unnecessary character styles. One of the reasons that causes start-up slow is the number of character styles. The more we install character fonts the slower the start-up speed. To delete some unnecessary fonts you can open control panel. Then enter “character font” file, and you can delete character font. But how can we know which is necessary and which is not? For example, if you do not always use ms-dos mode, then delete it.
