    Well my computer takes a while to start up, like 3 minutes before I can open firefox or anything.

    Is there anyway to make it load faster, like is there anyway I can make it only have it start up what it needs then open the other things myself.

    I have

    Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz
    1.60, 2.00GB of RAM

    Could it be because I have like... 17 games installed?

    Any help I would be greatful :)

    Theres a program called Tuneup utilities 2006/2007 that you can buy quiet cheap, It has a start up manager and will get rid of any programs that dont need to be started up on startup. I bought the 2006 version last year and its propperly the best app ive ever bought, Comes with registry cleaner and all sorts. Should check it out

    yes, click start > run > type msconfig and hit ok. then go to startup and check off nething that u dont want to run when ur computer starts. i found this helps me alot because i had a lot of useless programs opening that i rarely used. just make sure u check off stuff that u know what it is, dont check nething that u dont know what it does.

    here are some of the things that i dont have start up

    There is prberbly a crap load of files trying to start when you boot. Some programs (like msn) you can disable it from running at start uo to speed things up,.

    Do you have anti virus progies ? Like Northon ?
    if u have u need to know it slows your starting speed
    and if u have two anti virus progies then it slows very much your startp up speed
    and like arboter said , that progie is very good i used it on my old pc and it helpd me a lot

    i have also e6400 and 2gb ram and it start up in like 30 sec...
