Troubleshooting XP Start-up
Open msconfig by going to Start, choosing Run (or hit the
Windows key + R), and typing "msconfig" without the quotes.
Click to the Services tab.
Below the list of services, check the box titled "Hide All
Microsoft Services." Microsoft's default services will disappear
and you will be left with those of foreign parties. Third-party
services are necessary, especially for antivirus software, but
you can temporarily uncheck Services to see if a certain
application is the culprit in your Windows woes. Remember to
recheck the services when you are finished troubleshooting, as
some of your applications will need them to function properly. |
