Sigh, the ventilation on my laptop turns itself on and runs for hours. And it`s freaking loud. Now I don`t think that`s normal, the running all the time that is. The noise seems to be a trademark of this model. Also my working speed - everything I try to do, opening files, programes, shifting files, running certain operations - everything takes a shitload of time suddenly. I freed up more space on the harddrive, more than enough really, still not much effect. I`m having the sneaking suspicion my compi runs programes it isn`t supposed to and slows me down that way but how can I figure this out? Any ideas? I could deal with the slowness but the neverending ventilation is unbearable.

Using this works a little better than MSCONFIG on Windows Vista(if that is what you have) if only because you don't get an annoying message every time you turn on the computer saying "You are using selective startup..." I went from Windows ME to Windows Vista so I don't know how Windows XP worked.

hehe I didn't even think of that. My advice was for Windows XP, just in case. After you shut off things in the background, sometimes the next time you startup, a window pops up reminding you that you've made changes, but you can uncheck it so it won't ever ask you again (until the next time you make changes).
