My computer crashed yesterday after I tried to open up another program before
another program finished closing. I think it rewrote my bios or somehow
changed by startup instructions because now windows xp takes considerably
longer to start and there's a noticeable slowdown on nearly every program
especially games. What did windows xp change?
 
Hi plm3d,

Since that problem just started happening recently, try a System Restore.

Jimmy, thanx a lot! Everything is back the way it's use to. You da man.
Not sure what or why Windows XP change before but it's now back to normal.
Now it takes 30 seconds to load up windows while before it took almost 5
minutes.
 
Hi plm3d,

That's great news. I'm glad that worked out for you. :-)
