When I am starting my desktop its taking too much time to intitialize. I have tried a new battery too but its not working. I have windows xp. What should be a problem?
Try turning off some unnecessary startup programs. Press Win+R, type 'msconfig', click the Services tab, and disable the services you don't need according to
Matt's Windows XP Services Guide.
Also the usual defragmentation, disk cleanup, etc. can't hurt.
However, we all know the only way to restore the system to it's full potential is with a fresh install. Such a hassle though...
It is the problem of the computer speed. So you must increase your computer RAM size. You can also speed up your computer. For that You should remove temporary Internet files. You can also remove Windows temporary files such as error reports. Remove installed programs that you no longer use.
What "GT4AWD" is you're best bet, I would definetly recommend a fresh install every 6 months and a De-frag every month. This insures you computer stays fresh and performing at it's best, and just make sure no useless programmes are starting on start up. Try the "MSCONFIG" idea, that usually works for most people.

Hey in other way we can also format pc for increase starting speed am I right?
Well "fresh install" and "reformating" are the same thing beacause you have to re-install you're OS
It probably causes due to malwares.Use a good antivirus like registered kaspersky or quick heal. OR
Format...
First thing to check is- Open your Device Manager.
Click on View ... Show hidden devices
Click on and Delete (with the Delete key) any devices that have a ? or ! in front of them.
If the Device Manager has an "Other" device category, open it and Delete any devices in the "Other" category.
Now, reboot.
The reboot will force Windows to refined the deleted devices and hopefully see them for what they are.
After rebooting, give Windows time to locate and properly install the deleted devices.
Go to the Device Manager and verify that all your devices are listed correctly.
Having too many programs set to startup Windows XP is the main reason for a slow start of XP. You can fix this problem MSCONFIG.
Click Start->Run
Type MSCONFIG and click OK
MSCONFIG is already open
Click the Startup tab.
There you can view all items that are set to start when you boot the computer,Clear all items that are not essential for you.
Click Apply->Click OK
Than Restart your pc.
