  Q310353 How to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows XP

Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me):

1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the
  Open box, and then click OK.

2. On the General tab, click "Selective startup".

3. Click to clear all of the check boxes under "Selective startup".

  quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click OK.

  IMPORTANT: Examine the General tab to make sure that the check boxes that you
  cleared are still cleared. If none of the check boxes are selected, proceed
  to the next method. If you see a selected, unavailable check box (it appears
  dimmed and has a check mark in it), your computer is not truly clean-booted
  and you may require assistance from the manufacturer of the program that is
  listed next to the selected, unavailable check box.
