Slow to Start Up

Tony Exton - 27 August 2008 - 9:32pm

My pc takes exactly 4mins from when I log in to Windows until I can open anything, this includes the pc finding the net.This is since I installed SP3

I have reinstalled my Netgear programme and updated my wireless card driver. My signal is v good and 100% and speed is 54Mbps

I had trouble with wininstaller but have managed to update it and can install software.

I cannot update Java to 1.6,  I am running 1.4.2 update3, despite trying all the fixes to sort error1101.

This all seems to have happened since I ran Regmechanic and CCleaner.
