Windows-STart

[gimil]

Have a big problem with Windows-Start (XP).
After having downloaded the newest AntiVirus - and Internet Security updates (Norton) the starttime is enormous. The programms on the taskbar are shown after 3 minutes !!
Hej what's up ?!

Try uninstalling the offending programmes, see what happens.

If that fails to work, try going back to restore point.

If that fails.......

There may simply be something in the start folder or something from the update is running each time, when it should have only run once.

Good luck.

I know my computer starts up very slowly because of MSN messenger.

go to run type msconfig and then go to start up and click the boxes that have a tick on them that you dont need and it will run a little faster

Thanks ! I have deinstalled Norton, reinstalled it and won't update it now (the programm itself = livereg, liveupdate), because the virus definitions are automatically updated and it works.

Norton Security & MsConfig

Too owners of Windows XP using Norton Home Security. Do not Use msconfig too tweak your start up if Norton Internet Security is installed and running. Use the option in Norton Security too dissable it at start-up. If you use msconfig too tweak your start-up while this product is installed it throws Norton into *Security Advisor Mode* which defaults itself too full security. Once in this mode, Norton will not let you adjust the firewall,check for virus up-dates and check any web site using active X. It also will not let you check your e-mail or uninstall\reinstall the product.Even the tool Microsoft offers will send this product into a tail spin. If you must tweak your start-up (i realize that xp is a very slow starter) do it before using this product.

Thanks ! I know that's better to set an ip but i'm using a router = ip is automatically set. I have reinstalled Norton and it works now (without the programmupdates). The newest virusdefinitions I have too.
