Startup Items Trouble

[kevinj]

I really hope someone can help on this. I've posted here before, and not had much luck. I'm running win xp home on p4 1.8ghz. I have recently installed Norton IS 2004. If I do a restart on the pc, only about 2 of 8 - 10 startup items load in the taskbar (lower right side). I need all of them to load as I use Vol ctrl and Safely remove hardware icons a lot. If I do a sys restore to the previous days checkpoint, everything loads fine, however if I just restart only norton will load, and sometimes "web capture" will load too.

Any help greatly appreciated
Kevin

are you constantly on the interent or do you have dial up?

If you don't always need is2004, stop it from loading up at startup.
If you go into the 'internet security options' there will be a choice you can deselect to stop it.

If is2004 doesn't load at startup then all of your other things should load.

Also check your startup settings for any spyware or crap.

Click on run and type - msconfig, and go to the startup tab.
Then deselect any startup processes you think look dodgy, you can see where they are located on your machine by scrolling along to the end.

Also run ad-aware.

Type msconfig into Start > Run and hit enter.

Are the items you require checked under the Startup tab?
