p4 2.4 you mean?

And what do you mean by 'turn on', after or before you have logged in, and what operating system.

If using XP (if not download msconfig off google)

start>run>'msconfig'>startup tab

disable everything except msn etc that you know you want.

Anti spyware/virus runs too.

I mean all the way through whens its loading windows xp it takes ages then going all the way through. Ill try doing that also

had the same problem and well i think it might be spyware , too many programs load up at startup , windows install is corrupt , also try defragmenting ur harddrive if nowt works then reformat

Yes, I used to get this same problem.

I found that by disabling Antivirus & Antispyware boot-up scans, i regained control of my PC a lot faster. Also consider killing things like instant messengers that boot on load, so that you manually load them.

Other than that, try defragmenting your hard disk. You'd be surpised how much it can help.
