What you really need to do is stop unneeded programs from starting/running when you turn your computer on.

click start, run, type msconfig and press enter.

a box will pop up, go to the start up tab. There you will see a list of stuff with check boxes. Thats a list of all the programs that load into memory when you turn your computer on. Yeah thats a lot of ****.

Make a list of whats there, post it, and I'll give you an idea of what you can disable and what needs to stay. Mainly what needs to stay is antivirus stuff but there are some others that may be needed as well so you dont want to go disabling everything.

We can start there and then move on after thats done.

Lol seige...i dunno man, I was just as shocked as you are

Thanks Choc...i'll check that out when I get home and post the list...i appreciate your guys' help

[The Nastiest]

Choc, I might need your help with this, too. Would you mind if I posted a pic of what runs on my start-up as well?

[Choc City]

Definetly post your setup, it'll make it easier to help diagnose whats going on

Frost, how much memory do you have in your computer and what processor do you have?

Couple more tricks.

Right click "My computer" and click "Properties"
Click the "advanced" tab
click "performance options"
click "advanced"
select "background services" for both categories.
reboot.
