Q: I have two computers, both are emachines, after mine shows the desktop it can be used after about 10 seconds, but my other takes at least 10 minutes to be able to be used after the desktop shows. I think it's because my slow one loads alot of things in the bottom right corner, it has like 12 things it loads on startup. How can i make it to where my computer doesn't start up the things in the bottom right corner when i turn on my computer?
A: Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how: 1. Open your Start menu. 2. Click Run 3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe" 4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab 5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using. 6. Click "OK" http://www.delete-computer-history.com/speed-up-your-pc.html
