slow boot

Hi I have a little problem since 1 month. My Win7 is very very slow to boot, about 5 really minuts.. i don't know why because I use a ghost from november 2009 and the problem is still here. If i push F8 to see the options, and choose for example "enable boot logging" it starts normally and...

So i have setup ICS via windows 7 (desktop) to my XP (laptop). Everything works fine. the only issue is when i start my windows 7 and when XP is shutdown on my laptop, the windows 7 gets slow or never pass the logon screen. workaround is to start 7 in safe mode, disable my secondary NIC and...

I had just done a critical update a few nights ago, and after rebooting my pc to finish installing, my reboot now takes 10-15 minutes. When the pc comes on and says ACER is where it sits the longest, and i dont think i can enter bios or change boot devices either, ive pressed and pressed the...

Can someone please take a peek at my bootlog below and let me know if there is anything that may be causing the boot time to be VERY SLOW. It's so slow that you need to measure how long it takes on a geological timeline (you know the one that has a caveman on one end and an astronaut on the...

lately i've observed that my laptop computer, running windows 7 Professional, takes a longer time than usual in shutting down. i timed it and it now shuts down for 2 to 3 mins.. later, i found also that after shutting down, then turning on, all my jump lists are cleared, including the recent...

Running Windows 7 Home Premium on the Toshiba T110/00D, and despite using msconfig to stop some of the many programs from loading up at boot time, I still find that it boots up in 2 minutes, which is still pretty slow for me. I was just wandering what else I can do to speed Windows 7 up...

Hi guys, I have a nasty problem with my brand new Windows 7 Ultimate. Yesterday, I installed it on my desktop and it works perfectly, no single problem! Today, I install 7 on my laptop and installation doesn't cause any problem, so far so good. BUT, when I turn my laptop on, it takes more than...

Many users have expressed discontent with their computer. It is running slow. You're finding popups everywhere. Something is wrong. Its taking 20 minutes to boot. Here's what I recommend for most systems that have been in use for over a year, but have never had any IT maintenance performed...

I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and I have noticed the boot time is slower than it was with Vista. I tested my bootup time through a program and it took 194 seconds for my comp to boot up. My question is would making a clean install of Windows 7 solve this problem and make boot up times much...

I have 2 SATA drives with the OS on 1 and data on the other. I have a spare IDE drive that I use for backup. What I would like to know is. Will the IDE drive now cause Windows 7 to run slow after the log-in screen? The reason I ask is that the time from login to usability has increased since...

Hi everyone! Hope someone can help me! I've upgraded my Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit two days ago. Under Vista boot time was about 40 seconds, now it is about 90 seconds!!! What can I do? It was an Upgrade CD but I choose Clean Install. Are there some settings to...

Here is my problem. I installed Windows 7 64 bit (clean install) and things were running fast and smooth. I was on IE8 and a website needed JAVA, so I installed JAVA. The install went good, no errors. Now when I log into Windows after entering my password it takes about a minute for the...

Hi! After doing an in-place upgrade from Windows Vista Home Premium x32 to Windows 7, turning on the computer takes at least twice as long on my ACER Aspire 3810t notebook. When the "starting Windows" sign and the windows 7 logo appears the HDD LED stops flashing and the led is continuously...

Hello all, first time I have posted, but I am stuck. I am attempting to install Windows 7 Professional on my machine but am experiencing extremely slow (2 hrs) install. Then when it did install it took 20 minutes plus to boot up. I have tried removing all the RAM but one stick, using just a...

I am having a problem with Windows 7 RC 7100 taking forever to boot up. 10 minutes is not unusual, neither is getting stuck in a loop and never booting. I have tried the clean boot with no difference. On occassion it will boot up in less than 2 minutes, which I believe should be the standard...

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...

I was running the Windows 7 beta, and I just finished installing the RC. Everytime I've booted up it's stayed on the Starting Windows screen for over a minute each time. I have a two 7200 RPM 32MB cache hard drives in RAID 0 and an e6750 running at 3.3ghz so the boot up time is ridiculous. The...

hi guys, I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 in which I installed Windows 7 32-bit client. It's worked wonders minus not having a sound driver for the past two months or so until recently. My laptop now takes about fifteen minutes to boot up, and I can't load any programs because when I click them...

My computer was slower than normal to boot for a while, it would stay on the Welcome... page for about 12secs (a long time). I turned on verbose messages, and it turns out, its "preparing my desktop" on each boot. Two questions 1. What possible reasons could there be for such a thing? 2...
