Various re when switching computer on NPA 6/16/2007 11:14:00 AM Hi, My computer seems to be a bit slow, particularly when starting up - I would expect to be able to click & almost instantaneously should be able to open either email (OE6), IE etc. I had my hard drive reformatted to try to cure this but it still runs a little too slow for my liking. I have run msconfig on the start/run setting & have only 2 progs now running when starting up - the computer is still too slow. Any ideas? I ran PCPitstop & it says to reduce my cache size from c2500 to 100 - what does this mean? Would this improve the speed? Would it have other implications? When I ran msconfig I now get a message everytime the computer opens saying I have amended the System Conf & do i want this meaagae to show everytime - I click No & it still shows everytime - any ideas how I can get rid of this message once & forall? Thanks
