It would be cool if there was a HJT list somewhere of all the stuff you dont need..or even if the program suggested which stuff to fix for you !

600282 2007-10-10 13:10:00 Firstly there are some auto hijackthis log analyzers at various sites. Easy enough to find with google

you have a number of programs in your log that need updating or cutting.

Theres an ancient java version in there..zonealarm is well known for slowing things down..

i'm sure speedy will be a long in a min to paste the list to fix.

600283 2007-10-10 13:16:00 Yeah 2 gig of ram!!:D
A quad core cpu!!:cool:
Raptor Harddrives in a raid set up!!:thumbs:

Those would be a nice and fast boot up!!!:lol:

Or you could try PCLinuxOS;)

Just joking around,but you need to post your system specs as well,heck you might be running a very underpowered/old computer as you have not told us your system specs.

AS for your Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1
I cant help you, sorry.

600284 2007-10-10 15:01:00 theres nothing bad in that logfile just a few apps you dont need

just how long is your boot time and what system specs do you have ?....

for example i've got two pc's here one is a p4 3.0ghz 1gb ram 80gb sata

and the ohter is a p4 2.4ghz 1gb ram and 2x 80gb pata

the 3.0ghz system takes about 35 seconds to boot up
the 2.4ghz system takes about 1 minute to boot up......I"ve got more apps loading on the 2.4.......

600286 2007-10-10 19:24:00 Run HJT again tick these entries then tick fix checked.

Close browser/s.

These are safe but dont have to be in startup

Uninstall ALL versions of Sun Java. Yours is out of date. Its now up to 6 update 3. Link is in my sig.

Is XP up to date with updates??

Try defragging the hdd

Your second comment: You can post your HJT log at HJTs forum you know and it will tell you.

As for slow: Turn off Indexing, turn off System Restore. Make an image of your clean install and use it later when it all bogs down again. All the clean-out software in the world never gets it all.

600288 2007-10-11 02:04:00 I once used a program called bootvis from Microsoft to analyze and decrease the time it takes to boot to WindowsXP. Maybe others on this forum have used bootvis more recently? Been a while since I used it...

You can download it from sites like softpedia (www.softpedia.com)

Then Uncompress the file.
Run BOOTVIS.EXE
For a starting point, run Trace / Next Boot + Driver Delays
This will reboot your computer and provide a benchmark reference.
After the reboot, BootVis will take a minute or so to show graphs of your system startup.
Note how much time it takes for your system to load (click on the red vertical line)
Then run Trace / Optimize System
Re-Run the Next Boot + Drive Delays
Note how much the time has decreased
My PC went from approximately 40 to 30 seconds. Though not that much...
