Slow boot up and shut down.
My nephew has a new machine 1.7 amd cpu so it should be fast enough.
I have just been having a look at it, windows xp was installed.
It seems to take a awfull long time to boot and also to shut down.
Seems to be a load of stuff running at start up, had a look at progs on start up, but because I am not familier with xp, I do not know what is nesessary and what can be switched off, ie I noticed that for some reason Real player is on the startup list, this is not necessary surely.
Anybody got any ideas on how to speed the boot up on this machine,? it seems ok once it is up and running.
