slow start up problem

G

Guest

My pc takes about 4 minutes before it will allow me to start any programs.
I have to wait for a message to popup in the task bar telling me that there
is no firewall. My windows firewall is enabled.
I tried to access the firewall settings at startup through the control panel.
I received a error message
"Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display windows Firewall
settings".
Are there some settings I can switch to get rid of the delay?
When I purchased this Pc it had Norton internet security installed. I
uninstalled that and replaced it with NOd32. Everything was just to slow with
Norton. Could there be things left behind from Norton causing the problem?

What reports in Event Viewer?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the
System and Application logs in Event Viewer for the last boot. No
Information Reports please.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you
should double click for further information. You can copy using copy
and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further
information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event

I feel your pain! I don't know what your Norton alternative product is, but
it too could be a resource hog, just like Norton.

I have had NO - that's ZERO - instances of any documented intrusions into
machines which are running AVG Ant-Virus along with the ZoneAlarm firewall.
BOTH of these products are FREE downloads and I have no unrealistic start-up
slowness - neither program is a resource hog, like Norton. When I boot my
machine, I am presented with the logon screen in about a minute and a half
and can immediately run programs, once authenticated.

You may want to try starting the Task Manager as soon as you can and
verifying which app or service is slowing down your machine. If you can't
get this to start quickly enough BECAUSE of the resource-intensive
app/service, try starting it as a logon script, or placing the Task Manager
executable in the All Users Start-up folder. These methods will launch it
quicker that you can, and you can get a better idea of what is bogging down
your system (most likely your security product).

Once you identify the culprit, try uninstalling it, BUT do this without an
I'net connection. If your machine is noticeably faster, you can be sure you
ID'd the problem (note: try forcing a Restore Point before you uninstall, so
you can roll back the change without having to reinstall from disk). With
the change rolled back (i.e., security product active again), get your I'net
connection back, and go to http://free.grisoft.cz to download AVG Free
Anti-Virus (also available: Anti-Spyware and Anti-RootKit) and
http://www.zonealarm.com/store/cont...96904!7551!7552!NONE?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en
to get the free ZoneAlarm download. Note that both sites will try to steer
you to their full-version products for purchase, but the free ones are
extremely effective - you lose a bit of configurability and marginal
functionality, BUT WILL BE WELL PROTECTED without stalling your machine.
