Visit the IBM support website and download and install the
Utility drivers designed for Windows XP and your specific
ThinkPad model.

goto Start>>Run>>Type "msconfig" goto the startup tab, and
everything that is checked also starts up with your
computer

Search for the utility BOOTVIS on Google - you'll find download links and
user guides.

Bootvis can examine your boot-up processes and optimilise them for a quicker
boot-up.

Download Bootvis.exe from Microsoft..... it is a boot optimizer (and it's
free). Choose the Optimize function from the menu. It will need to reboot
your system.... just let it finish it's work... it may take a little
while....

Here's a Bootvis utility link:
http://www.winxpfix.com/Windows-Soft...41.htm#bootvis

You can get it from Microsoft, too, but when I went to the site today(for
this reply), it said it was temporarily unavailable....
It may be available by the time you read this, so here's the link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...3-40676ef111d7

When I start up windows XP Pro a file pops up titled
C:\windows\system32\system32.exe
How do I fix this, it kinda causes my computer to lag on
startup.

System32.exe is a virus file.

Remove remnants of KWBot.Worm from the Registry and File System

Note: You'll have to disable your antivirus program before running the repair.
