Vista - ReBoot Time

Hello The Shadow,

The Use of Script at the bottom of this tutorial to download it will help show you how to use this.

Boot Up Time

Hope this helps,
Shawn

WOW.....a neat little script!

I created it and ran it on my Windows XP-Pro machine and it was just 77 sec's.

Not too bad.....now to try it on Vista, if I can get that #$%@&*@ Dell to boot up.
It's been having a tissy fit all day.

Thanks for bringing me up to speed.

I really appreciate you guys!

PS: Like so many other Dell XPS400 users, worldwide, I've had to declare the mobo "DEAD". There are many reports from other Dell users that they are experiencing the same symptoms as I have. I'm going to scrap it out, removing any usable parts and trash the case, mobo and PSU.

i'm using the (gigabyte ga-ep45-ds3r/ds3) motherboard now . my other board is still out for repair. anyways is there any thing i can do to get the boot post to
go faster. it keeps hanging at (verifying DMI pool data).
thanks

Mr Scrooge,

You may find some resolution to that problem of "verifying DMA Pool Data" Here: Computer stops at verifying dmi pool data....

I wish I had read that site when I was having that problem on an older PC.

Good Luck to ya!

thanks for the link but it didn't help. it just hangs for about 30 secs. then boots into vista. thought there maybe something i can disable or something to get it going faster.
thanks again for your help...

I could say more, but, "Help" seems to be in order...

Hello GraphicsGuy, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Yikes, I agree. That is a bit of a wait.


I would start with these items: Boot Up

Next, I would see how much these can help: Speed Up the Performance of Vista


Hope this helps,
Shawn

You think yours are bad, 143 secs with 46 processes I think ATI CCC and all its services have a big part to play in this. Time for some more tweaking.

I take it back GraphicsGuy has a longer wait than I do, I just shaved it to 127 secs a very light shave indeed.
