But if this is just a startup problem, my guess is that you're probably going to have to get a registry cleaner/fixer and set up your computer so it doesn't load some of your current/unnecessary startup items. If that doesn't work, just reinstall the current OS. Though my guess is that you have too many startup items.

i know they are, but my pc is in truth limiting itself currently due to win XP only allowing a certain number of ram to be used.. i'll have double my current ram if i went to vista or win 7 (but fuck vista lol)

also i've checked months ago when i dabbled on the idea of updating to win 7 to get better use out of my tablet when i use it ~the sensitivity levels are nicer on win 7 then XP sadly.. ~

also i've already tried a regfix/cleaner =/ they didn't detect anything an ive run every other program i could think of cause i normally keep my pc rather up to date and clean with at least weekly run of each program .

i thought it was the start up items as well but after double checking i only have the anti virus set to loading on start minus the default programs or files that the system needs to run.

though after uninstalling a few things its running better.. i might still try to update to win 7 to see how it runs i liked the way the folders worked on it as well when i had it on another pc... if i hate it well i'll just pull my xp disk back out xD
