i have never needed to use a program like that. You can always disable all of the start up programs thru ms config, regedit and the starup menu . As for norton, on a slower libretto, i would run norton 2002 antivirus and zonealarm free ( i prefer 2.6). These run decently light on a slow libretto and dont get in your way. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2005 02:15:19 +0000 > From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Startup Faster 2004 2.4.1 > > Dan just had to kick the list server back into operation.
