my windows vista home premium doesnot start up completely It stops when it
has to load the sidebar and the programs that are in the start up file like
my virusscanner After a few minutes it automatically continues the start up
and loads all programs which are in the startupfolder
I just bought this vista and it worked fine I dont know what went wrong
I disabled all start up folders and services but I cannot locate the problem
Please help me as it costs me so much time while i cannot solve the issue

Have you run virus, malware, spyware checker programs? Cleanup temp
directories etc.....that's the first thing you want to do. Also, find
out which particular programs (on taskbar EG MSN) are being loaded at
boot time and then go into their configuration setup to disable from
being loaded when starting windows.

Can you tell us a bit more about the machine you're running Vista on ?

Go to the Start button (Microsoft Logo, bottom left), click it and select
'Computer' then right click it and choose 'Properties'. If you don't see a
'Computer' icon, look for it on your desktop and do the same thing, right
click it.

That window should tell you what your processor is and how much memory you
have installed etc. Tell us what you have.

Your PC seems powerful enough to me. Have you tried running 'msconfig'
(minus the quotes) from the Run prompt ? This will tell you what programs
and services are set to start up when you boot Windows.

Don't go mad unchecking everything. Maybe you'll see something there that
you recognise and can temporarily disable to see if it improves your start
up time.

Try Start button (Microsoft logo, bottom left), then in the box directly
above it which says 'Start Search', type 'msconfig' (minus the quotes) and
have a look at the window that pops up. Check out the 'Start Up' tab.

You'll have to do this in an account with administrative privileges or enter
in a password for an administrative account if you have UAC (User Account
Control) activated.

When you say 'windows life software' I assume you mean Windows Live
software. Is this right ?

Did this machine get banged or dropped? Problem may be your DVD-CD Rom
drive. With the power off pull the cover and pull the power off the DVD-CD
drive. Power up see if this helps. Often with hardware failure, it's slow
to boot and often with no warning may perk up. If it is not the DVD-CD,
power off - pull out the modem. If that does not work, pull out the Ethernet
card. Keep trying until you rule out any hardware issues.
