Hi,
I am quite confused about what has happened with my computer. When I begin to restart or shutdown my PC, it takes about 2-3 minutes for “Saving your settings” to shutdown, and then another 15-20 seconds for windows.
This is not the only case; even my system takes about 2-3 minutes to boot and load. I have an HP Pavilion, Win SP2, Pentium 4, 2.6 GHz, 1024 Mb RAM and 80 GB Hard Drive. Help needed.
Thanks!
Why my PC has become so much slow?
It is quite difficult to answer this problem, as we don’t know exactly, what kind of software you generally have in your system. Windows XP was designed to boot to a usable state within 30 seconds. And this is fine, and very true, as long as you don’t have any file running in the background. So following might be the reasons for your problem:
-
You may have various programs, like a third party firewall, Antivirus ; a couple of instant messaging programs running at the background.
-
You may have an extra mouse driver or a background CD writing software.
-
Some kind of creative media server, Microsoft or Open Office “Quick start” modules.
There are a number of programs, including different user programs, as well as some drivers, that can lengthen startup and shutdown times when installed. Now how do we tackle this problem? The simple solution to this, can be achieved by following these steps:
-
Have a look on programs, which are set on auto start option and set those to manual. So that those can’t lengthen shutdown or boot time.
-
Those programs which are on auto update mode, try to turn that option off.
-
You can also avoid this waiting time by simply hibernating your system and only shutdown your system once or twice a week.
Another cause may be the failure of your system to unload profile and the profile is not reconciled. This can be reconciled, using a copy of contents of the registry. Microsoft has provided a tool to assist with. This can be found on their Web Site.

You can try to do a system restoration:
( start >> all program >> accessory >> utility system >> system restoration )
and choose a date when you computer was not slow , and restart you system. Otherwise, you can go to
start >> run >> " %temp% " and click ok >> after deleting all the files in the folder
re do these work , : prefetch ,temp , dllcache , recent
Then, go to
start >> run >> and write " msconfig " and disable all functions in star system ,
>> click ok and restart
you can also try ( ctrl + alt+ dell ) and go to process, choose svhost.exe and click to end process and restore.
