Windows Vista Boot Issue

Yeah it will be slower for the first couple of runs after deleting the prefetch but then it will speed up. On your second screenshot theres a box with 30 in it change that to 3 and reboot.

Changed it to 3 then rebooted 2 seconds faster but I still think it can be faster and at the same time I am running a RAID 0 configration may this have any effect on boot time? RAID driver etc. Also I not sure which services to disable cause their names are in Turkish ; should I disable them through the registry editor or is it less secure? Additionally I have 4GBs of RAM how big should my page file be ? How can I intepret ntbtlog.txt and other boot logs there is a bunch of drivers which did not load according to it and their names are displayed a few times not once.

It is 2 secs slower actually, I am not sure whether you are experimenting or trying to boot faster. However, your reboot time seems to be reasonable and I am not sure that you disable services not knowing what they are for because you may end up with the broken system.
I have done the Factory state Recovery recently and left everything as it is except few changes. My reboot time is 82secs and I am quite happy because of the excellent performance of my laptop, certain services are essential for trouble free function.
It is only my approach,it is entirely up to you how you want to do,even if you end up with a broken system it is not the end of the world and many members here would be glad to help you.

It will slow boot time but i dont think it should be more than a few seconds slower

Also I not sure which services to disable cause their names are in Turkish

If you dont know then dont touch them

Additionally I have 4GBs of RAM how big should my page file be ?

I answered that question before on the previous page

Thanks for your replies the only way seems to be exprimenting.

When I disabled Windows Defender and SoundMAX applications(there are two of them) my boot time improved 2 seconds which is now 58 seconds but this is even before Kaspersky AV and SoundMAX application is launched. I have to wait for them to start for about 20 seconds or so and first SoundMax(when enabled) then Kaspersky and finally ATI CCC 9.4 starts.
