326391 2005-02-19 02:45:00 i saw 42 items there (god thats a lot!) is that a problem?

Yes, Massive problem, That means you are running 42 programs before you even get started.

Would you expect it to do well if you started 42 programs before the one you actually wanted to use?

326392 2005-02-19 02:58:00 how do i fix that? digitalfatality (7371)
326393 2005-02-19 03:07:00 Identify and disable the uneeded items.

Spybot has a feature where it lists each items purpose, (advanced>tools>system startup,then highligt and entry and info on it will be displayed on the right hand side of the screen)

should take less then a minute.........

326394 2005-02-19 03:34:00 i did that, it made my start up faster, but it didn't help with it refusing to run programs it once ran. digitalfatality (7371)
326395 2005-02-19 03:37:00 What programs exactly are u talking about that dont run/work? Speedy Gonzales (78)
326396 2005-02-19 03:49:00 quake 2 and 3 and the mission packs, the sims (including expansion packs) gangsters, need for speed porshe 2002, gta 3, and many other games, gameboy advance emulator, autocad, flash mx, fireworks, coral draw 10, some features on roxio 6 and some features on nero 6, and various video editing programs, photoshop cs barely runs. all of these ran easy while they were on the computer at the same time and some of them i could run in simultaniously with others.

326397 2005-02-19 03:59:00 OK. So, those programs are installed right now. What happens when u try and run them? They just dont work? Any of them bring up any errors saying something / anything at all? Speedy Gonzales (78)
326398 2005-02-19 04:06:00 ok, like my gba emulator for example, at the top of the screen it gives a percentage rate at which it is running. it used to say 100% now it says 25%. gangsters won't run at all, the sims overlaps and freezes and then crash, my graphics progs freeze. gta freezes, need for speed shows the splash screen and then crash, my video editing programs freeze, if i use certain features on roxio and nero 6 it crashes, my quake games won't run at all. with all of this freezing and crashing, windows does not crash. digitalfatality (7371)
326399 2005-02-19 04:23:00 Try reinstalling or downloading directx 9.0c. See if that makes a diff.

Or update your videocard drivers
