I am trying to speed up a laptop on start up but am unsure what items to disable on msconfig - start up, any ideas? Running on xp

Why dont you list all the items you have and we can tell you what to remove. By the way you should be using the startup control panel, not MSConfig, as msconfig is for diagnosing issues, not permanent disabling of items:

Are you going to list the items?

Sorry, I managed to solve the problem

thanks
