The first time, after reboot, I have to wait 1-2 mins to use any program. The performance says 97-99% cpu idle. How do I speed it up? I have all current updates.
Just timed my boot-up and it was 1:18 before the hourglass
went away so 1-2 minutes seems normal. You might be able
to speed things up a little bit by turning off some of the
programs that start when XP boots but that the computer
doesn't need and that you don't use. See:
