This is my problem....
Slow booting of Windows XP ( Boot screen not after it loads)
Slow loading into programs, servers, IE but only for the first time the application is opened after it runs for it's first time then it's fast like it should be.
Alot of people said memory or hard drive.... I swapped my memory around and the laptop wouldn't boot if one was in the others slot unless only one was in the first slot.... but I figured that didn't make a diff cause it read at 1024mb....
What I want to know is there any programs or procedured that I can do or run to check for hard drive problems... my boss is a pc tech but I wanna do what I can before I have him look at it.
Thanx in advance for help
Also I am running a Media Wave laptop with a 60 gb hdd not sure on speed
1 gb memory
windows xp HE
2.80 ghz intel p4
