Long startup time...

[massahwahl]

Can anyone tell me how to decrease the length of time it takes to startup my computer? I have an Asus M2N-Plus mobo and it will take a god 70-80 seconds from the time I turn it on till it gets to the loading windows screen. Am I just being impatient? Or is there something I can do to fix this?

Download CCleaner if you don't already have it and look under the startup section. Remove any unnecessary stuff like adobe, quicktime, iTunes, etc. because you can always start it later when you are done booting up. Having less program to run at startup can help make the boot-up time faster since the processor can concentrate in initializing the important programs only.

Hope this helps.
