boot time

FYI: On two different Dell laptops which were recently upgraded to win7 HP from vista, I deleted the digital line detector program (dlg.exe) from the startup folder and saw a vast improvement in the time it takes to boot the system. If your system takes forever to boot, you might try this.

I have extremely slow shutdown and boot-up speeds. I'm using windows 7 home premium with intel dual core. I have 4gb ram on a 32 bit system. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, but have collected some info from the event viewer. I would appreciate any advice. My average boot time is taking...

Hello! I recently upgraded from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (Build 7100) and noticed that it seems to boot much slower compared to Vista. The only two items I see that start at start up are "VMware Workstation" and "Microsoft Windows Operating System". I also have...

Hi, I fresh installed Win 7 RTM on my PC for testing purposes and found that its slower to boot up than the RC 7100 build (around 55 sec vs 35 sec). I think it may have something to do with the user account, since logging on from off takes a long time in itself ( around 30 sec on the welcome...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've done a torture test on my Windows 7 32-bit machine. it consists of a Nvidia Geforce 6100 nForce video, Nvidia nForce Networking Controller, Hitachi 200GB drive TSST Corp CD\DVDRW drive, , AMD Athalon 64 Processor 3800+. I have installed 106...

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS3L motherboard and have been running 4 gigs (4 x 1GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4; 4-4-4-12; 2.1 volts) on it with no problems. Windows 7 runs great. I decided to up the ante to 8 gigs RAM (4 x 2GB Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5; 5-5-5-18; 1.8 volts -- which is approved from...

When I first opened WMP in Vista, it would take a while to open and start playing music. However, in Windows 7 it opens almost instantly. Is it just faster, or is it opening in startup so it starts faster? I suspect this because my start up is not much faster than Vista, and i did not do an...

Hi guys, I am new to the forums, but not to windows, I've been using microsoft products since DOS and windows 3.1 so I know windows inside out. I just installed windows 7 RC1 onto my acer netbook (1.6ghz atom, 1GB ram, 160GB HDD) and it installed in 5-10 minutes real quick from my thumb...

Hi, I have just done a clean install with the new RC of windows 7. But the problem now is the boot time has increased a lot about 5 min. This was not the case with the first public beta (7000). I have done some xbootmgr performance logging and I will attach some screen shoots of my findings...

I have had this problem basically since I installed Win7, I dont know if something I installed triggered it. This is my school laptop so I'm not in the position to uninstall software to stop the problem, everything I have on here I use actively. Ok, so the problem I have noticed the laptop...

As many of you know, I'm not a fan of the preview feature.. To me it's an additional step to take to locate a program or find what directory you're in. Before this preview feature was introduced with Vista, I could have 12 windows open and simply look on the taskbar and tell immediately where...

I think we need to start a list of what exactly is diffrent between win 7 and other os's that ms has made. I had someone ask me whay made windows 7 better, and I didnt really have an answer for them. (So ignore currently known beta issues with 7, we assume ms will fix those.) I will start...

Hi everyone. I've got 3 SATA HDs and 3 IDE HDs and Vista Business/XP installed on a dual-booting partition on one of the SATAs. I'm getting stuck at the Vista screen with the progress bar for 12 minutes before Vista boots. Once it's up, it works fine. Aero and everything. Hunk-Dory. Now, if I...
