AgEnTsMiTh Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 IM am currently trying to figure out why my boot is so slow at initial start up. When I boot, It sorta hangs there as if something is loading. The only thing I have at startup is my Anti Virus and Firewall. But even before I had installed them, it did this. Any ideas on what the issue could be? My sytem is: AMD Athlon XP 1800+ Asus Mother Board Gforce3 ti 500 768 mb mem Sound Blaster Live HP 16x cdrw 50x cdrom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 get bootvis (i think http://www.wxperience.com/ has it) let it do an analysis of everything, restart and do "optimise my system" (i think thats what its called) the whold thing can take up to 10 mins or so. Then do a defrag of your hard drive, that brought my boot down from 30secs. to about 10-15secs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3nd3r Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Actually, a fiew of my friends that are running XP pro have the same problem. We have been trying to find out why it is happening but nothing so far. When we figure it out I will post it on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgEnTsMiTh Posted January 12, 2002 Author Share Posted January 12, 2002 Thanks. I am not computer illiterate what so ever, I know my way around. From building a cpu from the bottom up down to Windows/Linux etc. So this is prob. the first wall I have hit this hard that I can remember. Any help would be great. For the life of me I just cant pin point this issue. I did try bootvis long while back to no avail. Any comments are very welcome. PM me or just post on this thread.

AgEnTsMiTh Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 I ran the Bootvis ran the optimizer and nothing is working. Boot is taking about 1 min to complete. I have no idea what step to take now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 don't do optimize. run bootvis, go to options, advanced button, change delay time for boot dump trace to like 300sec. then do trace next boot + driver delay. then open created .bin file and see what's taking such long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie9920 Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 If you hav a Via chipset and you installed the 4in1 drivers then you will get slow boots. You are best off using the default MS Via drivers. Oh yeah, the wall isn't Microsoft..the wall is Via. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
