window load too slowly.

Hello everyone!
I'm a Vienamese student.My family bought a new PC two months ago.It has a giga G31m main and an E4600 core 2 duo 2.4 ghz chip.It worked well until recently I install windows vista x86 again.At first,It took me about 15 seconds to start working.But after I installed Mz vista force and Netspeeder,It begined taking me over 1 min to load window although I have restored window to the time before(the long green button runs for 25 times!)I'm very tired of waiting for vista loads as well as ireinstall it.Can any one give me some advice? thanks.

Hi daretofail, and welcome to the vista forums,

when you say you restored vista to the time before was this by un-installing the software?

it may be that the software has left a some component set to run at stertup which is causing the delay.

you may want to check your start-up entries

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable

Re: window load too slowly.

Hi there!
My problem does not relate with startup.The slowest stage is the time that the welcome screen has not appeared,when the green rolling button runs over and over on the black ground (with the tip ' microsoft corporation' below). I suspect that the netspeeder causing that issue,but dont know how to fix it.

Re: window load too slowly.

Hi daretofail,

the way I understand the start-up process some if not all of the things that apply to all users load during the time that the green bar is displayed, so, if your installation of netspeeder has left a remnant in the all users startup that points to a non-existent exe file or such then that would cause the delay you see while it searches for the exe

this would possibly be limited to just an entry in the registry.

you may want to check the system using Autoruns which is more advanced than vista's built-in systems.

AutoRuns for Windows

unfortunately this sort of remnant can be difficult to find

I has downloaded autoruns but I dont know where is the registry of netspeeder or even ones when windows boots up.Can you suggest me a method or an alternative software helping with registry problems.
And also thank for your help.At least I can ultimately know quite clearly about the reason.

Re: window load too slowly.

But are you sure that my problem derived from registry.I have just used tuneup utilities to find and delete all the remained registries of netspeeder.However,my windows ' loading speed was not improved any more.My PC was also attached with Kaspersky internet security,Mz vista force and nero 8.It seems clearer if I can know what happens when the computer boots .

Re: window load too slowly.

you should also defragment you hard drive...

in vista, there is a option that you can make the computer use multiple cores at startup. this only applies to computers with dual core and right the way upto the new 6 core CPU's.. even thought windows is pre configured to use as many cores as it has available, you dont get the full taste of what it can do unless the user changes the following settings

click start menu, and in the search box, type "msconfig" and hit enter.

then click on the "BOOT" tab & then click on advanced options

a box then appears. in the top left hand corner, you will see "number of processors". put a TICK in this box and then select the highest number available in the dropdown box below "number of processors...... also put a TICK in the "Detect HAL" box.. then click OK

you will now go back to the screen where the advanced options button is located.. before closing this box, put a TICK in the "make all boot settings permanent" box (located to the bottom left corner of the window)

you computer will now be slightly faster at startup..

you can also speed up performance by enabling advanced performance on your hard drive (note. you will lose data if you have this enabled and you have a sudden powercut)

go to the start menu, in the search box, type "device manager" and hit enter

then select the plus(+) sign next to "disk drives" tab and then right click on your hard drive and click properties

then select policies

you will see four options (you may be un-able to change the top two, but this is normal)

put a TICK in the bottom two ("enable write caching on the disk" & "enable advanced performance")

my computer went 30 to 40 seconds quicker on startup with the two windows features i have just showed you....

use the following script to find out how long it takes now and then follow the instructions on how to speed up your comuter and then re-run the speed tester to find out how much time you have shaved off

just copy and paste to notepad and then save it to your desktop save the file with the name "bootspeed"
.....................................copy and paste......................................................
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
Dim Wsh, Time1, Time2, Result, PathFile, MsgResult, MsgA, AppName, KeyA, KeyB, TimeDiff
MsgA = "Please close all running applications and click on OK."
KeyA = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RestartTime\"
KeyB = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\RestartTime"
AppName = "ReBoot-Time"
Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
PathFile = """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """"
Result = wsh.RegRead(KeyA & "Times")
if Result = "" then
MsgResult = Msgbox (MsgA, vbOKCancel, AppName)
If MsgResult = vbcancel then WScript.Quit
Wsh.RegWrite KeyA & "Times", left(Time,8), "REG_SZ"
Wsh.RegWrite KeyB, PathFile, "REG_SZ"
Wsh.Run "cmd /c Shutdown -r -t 00", false, 0
else
Wsh.RegDelete KeyA & "Times"
Wsh.RegDelete KeyA
Wsh.RegDelete KeyB
TimeDiff = DateDiff("s",Result,left(Time,8))
MsgBox "Your computer reboots in " & TimeDiff & " seconds", VbInformation, AppName
end if
wscript.Quit
.....................................copy and paste....................................................

just watch you dont get a speeding ticket!!!!!!! haha

Re: window load too slowly.

Thank you very much!
My computer now works as fluently as i have never seen,thank to your advice changing settings in msconfig.However,my main problems with the starting time is still there.Without a reparation,it means that I have to reinstall vista and then avoid the suspect software such as Netspeeder.
Ah!How can I use that script to see starting times?Please give more details.Thanks.

Re: window load too slowly.

basically, you copy and paste (from "Option explicit" all the way down to "wscript.Quit") paste it in to notepad, then save to your DESKTOP

then you should be able to double click on it and then a box should appear saying "close other programs and click ok to continue"

just click ok and the system should automatically restart.

be sure not to leave your computer because, if you dont type your password in as soon as your computer restarts, it keeps the clock running untill you loggin, and go to the desktop. it will then it give you the final time your computer took to reboot.

if you delay loggin by 15 seconds, it will add 15 seconds on to the total time , not sure why tho.. but hey i aint complaining

can i ask ,do you defrag your hard drive regularly, as alot of saving/deleting/name changing of files can slow you computer down quite dramatically when it gets really bad...

Re: window load too slowly.

No,I manage my computer quite well.I defrag hard driver usually as well as clean up driver C.I only suspect the softwares which were used to optimize my PC,include Mz vista force and net speeder.I wonder if you can suggest me a method to reinstall window vista with out catching this problem again( system restore is not relevant).Notice that those softwares are very useful,I need them.
I don't know why the first time I install vista with a lot of add-ons,but nothing happened.
