My Compaq laptop (R4000, AMD 1.8GHz, 736 MB RAM,HDD 5400 RPM) got a
slow startup for quite a while and I can't fix it. I tried msconfig
and only left Norton checked in the "startup" column. I even reduced
the timeout in Boot.ini from 30 sec to 3 sec. It still doesn't work.
After I typed in password and entered the windows interface, the
wallpaper was loaded for about 10 secs and the screen went to grey.
Then OS started to load icons in system tray one by one and in the
end, the wallpaper was reloaded. The whole procedure takes about 2
mins. I remember it was much faster before and the refreshing thing
for the wallpaper was new. Could it be caused by some adware? I tried
Norton and Windows defenders but got nothing.
Thanks for your help!
