Loadup

[Gus Espino]

After installing Spybot-Search & Destroy, my OS WinXP
takes a long time to loadup and shut down. Is there
anything I can Do?

Hi Gus,

System Restore?

Hi!

"The design goals for Windows XP on a typical consumer PC are:

• Boot to a useable state in a total of 30 seconds

• Resume from Hibernate (S4) in a total of 20 seconds

• Resume from Standby (S3) in a total of 5 seconds"

you may download bootvis tool to optimize.

Again if you still face problems then uninstall ybot-Search & Destroy.
