VI,
If it is taking so long to initially start, clear out all the temp files and folders.
I don't know which Operating system you use but if XP or Vista:
1st thing to do is clear out all your temporary files, tool of choice is ATF Cleaner, it is free and you do not have to install it. Download and instructions
here (Windows XP, 2K, 2003 & Vista ONLY)
* NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.
-- Click on ATF-Cleaner to run it
-- Where it says Select Files To Delete, Check the
Select All Option
-- Click
Empty Selected - >
OK
You use Firefox browser, so do this also:
* Click
Firefox at the top and choose
Select All from the list.
* Click the
Empty Selected button.
Do you have
Ccleaner installed?
If so, open Ccleaner -> click the Cleaner Button on the left -> in the Applications tab under Firefox place a tick in 'Compact Databases'.
Click Analyze -> when the list appears, click Clean.
If you don't have Ccleaner, may I recommend getting it and follow these
CCLEANER Setup Instructions
You could also try
Speedyfox, which is so simple to use and does make a noticable difference:
Post back.
