First Off When logging in to windows It takes about 1/2 Min to logg in Next I have 3 programs That try to gain access At start Up My firewall (Zone alarm pro) picks up. CCAPP.EXE, MSMSGS.EXE, SPOOLSV.EXE.. Now I know what msmgs is its Msnmsnger However It keeps comming up after and up even though Im clicking no it cant access. So its weird. Next wtf is ccapp.exe? something to do with norton? And finally I have no idea what so ever Spoolsv.exe is. Plz reply and tell me wtf is going On thankyou
learning to use Google is a wonderful thing you know
ccapp.exe see here
msmsgs.exe see here
finally
spoolsv.exe see here
all of these were the first hits produced using the process names as search queries - if after reading that lot you don't understand it then come back and ask but please next time look a little bit first

Thankyou :)
no problem ;)
However, I still have the start up process taking Up to 1min just to logg in. This is Not Acceptable. How do I fix this? I have tried run-msconfig-lastab- And unclicking all start up programs But that did not work..
What are the specs on your computer? Processor, RAM, hard drive speed? Older systems dont run well on XP. Have you checked your machine for spyware? (Spybot Search and Destroy or Adaware) Have you ever done a defrag?Quote:

Yes to all My friend First Off. Next My system is as follows, Its Amd athlon 1800+ 1.54 GHz 256 MB of ram. And im running Xp. It started this about 6 days ago, And to tell you the truth I cant remember what i was doing. I think i might have been Using System Machanics Program.
Ok. Are there a lot of icons to the left of the clock. (Or a double arrow next to a couple of icons?) That could indicate you have a lot of programs starting at startup) If you want to see what is running at startup use this program:Quote:

StartUp Control Panel
http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
This will create a control panel item that shows you what is starting up on your computer. You can uncheck things to not have them startup on boot. (Beware: this can mess up your system so make a backup)
LoL. I have Already ruled that out man. thats not it. thankyou anyways. could it be more indepth such as System mechanics might have changed some things?Quote:

Can I ask how you ruled that out?Quote:

ok . two suggestions then
1) how big is your /windows/prefetch directory? A large cache here will slow down boot up times (look up prefetch on google if you want to understand why) - maybe system mechanic placed some stuff in here? I'm not saying that you should delete everything in here but maybe a bit of pruning?
2) have you used bootvis by MS? It might give you some clues as to where the boot problem lies. To be honest though 30-60 seconds to have everything log in isn't that long in XP - IIRC MS wanted to get XP to boot up in 30secs. Now MS will tell you that Bootvis is not meant to solve boot up problems for end users - which is true, but it might help you track down some problems. Bootvis is not available direct from MS any more so try here

the planet mirror mirror site should be ok (at least it was when I tried it 5 mins before posting this)
See how that gets you going
