this happened about a week after i got my laptop. Its a Sony FS920.
It used to startup file. Nice and fast. Then, about a week later, before i was even able to go on the internet. the startup started taking forever. So i just put it in hibernate every time i want to turn it off. I tried everything i could find to speed it up. I removed a bunch of startup programs and switched the theme to windows clasic.
I took out all the effects and stuff (which i dont think affects startup, but anyways)
I have nothing left to do.
Can Anyone Help Me Out?
thanks

Another thing that affects it is items directly on the Desktop (ie - do you need stuff to sit on your desktop, or can you move them into 'my documents' and create a shortcut to them?), as well as your Quicklaunch. Check to see if those are visible, and remove as many as you can.
Was any software installed or uninstalled about the time it started to do this?

I have 14 items on my desktop.
On the quicklaunch - are those items on the left of the taskbar (near the 'start' button) or on the right (near the time)?

16 is a lot - I would delete the ones you don't use.
Where does it hang, on what screen?

where does what hang?
i deleted 8 quick launch icons
Did you try to run scandisk, defragmenting and / or a spywarekiller?

Where does it seem to slow down - is it at the Windows splash screen (or where that is supposed to be), when you login, etc...?

Runnng python 2.2 on HP-UX, I get intermittant slow startup.
Sometimes python starts up in a small fraction of a second, and
sometimes takes 3-5 seconds. This applies to any script I run, or
just typing 'python' at the prompt.
I also observed something similar on Linux.
Any ideas what would cause *intermittant* slow startup?

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 app that takes about 17 seconds to load on first
startup but then is very fast after that. As I understand it from some posts
in June, this is caused by the loading of the App Domain.
We have both Cold Fusion and ASP.NET apps on this server and the Cold Fusion
apps do not display such slowness on their first start up of the day. Is
there a way to improve the load times of ASP.NET apps?

After installing SourceSafe integration with Access 2003, th database
startup became very slow. My database is big, more than 10,000 objects
or so. It seems Access/VSS attempts to refresh the Source Control
status (the little lock icon next to each object), and it takes long
time.
Is there a way to disable this update process at start up?
Any work around to get the database starts as fast as it used to be
before the integration?
