[allan1957]

i have been told to do a, os configaration on my toshiba lap top, running on windows xp, my lap top takes 15 minutes to warm up, i was told on a toshiba forum that i require a os configaration to make start up quicker, how do i do this

Probably they meant to remove some startup programs from the list. Click on Start -> Run and type msconfig

In the "startup" tab, uncheck all that apply (all programs you do not need to be starting up when logging into your OS). You can remove anything, it doesn't matter. And also, which anti virus scanner are you using?
