Dear Sirs,
Please help. My computer boots/loads really slowly. I Have windows XP. What happens is it takes about 30-45 minutes on the black windows xp loading screen with the loading blue squares. (thats the best i can describe it) When loaded it runs fine. This tends to happen after ive installed somthing. There is nothing on my computer as its brand new. Then only software is norton anti virus and a telewest cd thats my internet account.
The first problem i had I took the pc back to where i got it and what was causing my computer to screw up was that 2 copys of norton were conflicting with each other and svhost was using 99% cpu usage. They deleted that factory put on one ('03) and put on the free copy that came with the computer ('04), they also done a full system restore before that. They returned it to me saying the problem was fixed. I took the pc home and booted it up and everything worked fine. Now as im very busy of late it was only today I installed the telewest software for my internet connection. Everything was going super fast, after install i got the usual you must now restart your computer for the new settings to take effect. Well the restart took over 30-45 mins on the black xp loading screen as described above. Please help me, what is wrong.
My computer is a 2.6 celon Packard Bell
80 gb
256 mb
windows xp.
Im not taking it back again, its a pain. I think the people on
here are much more intelligent and I would really appriacate any help.
Thanks Paul
