desktop icons and taskbar took very long to load

[samueltoon]

hi

i am currently running on window xp home sp2

i had run various program such as ewido,thread micro, adaware, spybot

but nothing was found.

the taskbar and desktop icon took about 10minutes to load, and when i click on start, it took another 2 min to show the shortcuts . And another few mintues after my mouse point at all programs. But i press Ctrl + Alt + Delete , it appear very fast.(note: the time on the taskbar is not refresher until it show the next menu.)
then i open 2 Internet explorer. Yahoo and Google. But it does not show on the taskbar. When it finally show on the taskbar, i try to click on the program at the taskbar(for example i am at yahoo,i wanna to switch to google) but no effect. I have to press Alt + Tab to go to google.

I tired to go yahoo an search for the same problem but either the solution does not work or no solution given or reformat the computer.

Hmmmm,

1. What are your hardware specifications.
2. Why are you automatically starting Cold Fusion?

1. Try removing Cold Fusion from the start up menu.
2. Update your Norton
3. Update Windows
4. Defragment your HDD

Do you get the same problem when you boot into SAFE MODE ?

Have you run your scans in SAFE MODE?

[samueltoon]

I did the scans all in safe mode.
ram 256
celeron.



i duno why am i starting cold fusion automatically but i guess it start automatically long ago.
how to disable it?

My norton is expired thats why i never use it to scan.

Windows dun allow me to do a update.
OH , btw i cant uninstall any program, it say either i am in safe mode or ask me to reinstall window installer.
i had done defragment after my scan.

safe mode work perfectly fine.

OK samueltoon we have a few issues here.

1. With Windows XP Pro SP2, a CELERON processor and 256Mb of RAM, you do not have a lot of spare resource. I would personally want 512Mb in that setup for a smooth computing experience.

2. You have Norton, which is notorious for conflicting with other software. Worse still, It has exired and is obsolete.

Let us try this to start with:

1. http://www.winpatrol.com

Get WinPatrol (there is a free version) and use it to "suspend" applications in your start up.

2. Uninstall Norton

3. Get Avast! or AVG for your antivirus solution.

4. If you do not have a firewall other than Norton, get the free version of Zone Alarm first, or at least make sure that the Windows SP2 firewall is enabled.

Incidentally, if the SP2 firewall is active, Norton might be conflicting with that as well.

Please let me know how you get on

[samueltoon]

i am running on window xp home sp2.

i downloaded winpatrol and tried to install but i got a error.

C:\windows\system32\autoexec.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and microsoft windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application.



When i tried to un-install program, the error message is

the window installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode or if windows installer is not properly installed. contact your personnel for assistance.

When i try to do window update , the error message is

Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer

[preacherman481]

Have you booted back into regular start up mode?

[samueltoon]

i am running the normal window mode when do those process

[preacherman481]

Something I need to ask you. Are you running a genuine copy of Windows? That is, you bought it from a store or it came with your computer?

[samueltoon]

The window came with the computer from HP. Is genuine as i validate at microsoft before. I got the CD with me too. But i dun which to reformat as my programs and datas is inside.

[preacherman481]

Ok thanks. See post #11 on this page for instructions on how to solve your Windows Update issue.
