Also, I ran a disk and registry defrag to possibly help with this. I use Auslogics Disk Defrag and Auslogics Registry Defrag. Are there better ones out there? And how come when I do a Virus scan and a disk defrag, they have different amount of files even though I select C:/ Drive for both of them. (Note: The virus scan has more files)

Another weird thing is when I rebooted, the hard drive light on my computer keeps blinking. Usually it goes away after a while you know. My last boot time was 134 sec.

Sorry for all the different questions.

Thanks.

You might see how it runs without Secunia PSI installed as a test.

As a last resort, you could do a clean install and test your restart time after installing each item to see what may be the culprit that way.

Okay. If I did a clean install, would Drive Backup 9.0 save my programs, or would it just wipe out this program as well?

**Brink** · 07-29-2009

I'm not familiar with the Drive Backup program features, but you will need to reinstall the programs as well with a clean install.

**shortmantuff** · 07-29-2009

Yeah, I don't have a external Hard Drive so I might want to get one of those before I go with the clean install.

**Brink** · 07-29-2009

Hello Exceler, and welcome to Vista Forums.

30 seconds is a very good restart time. I have a hard time believing that your default OEM computer restarted in only 5 to 10 seconds from day one. Are you sure that wasn't from coming out of sleep mode instead?
