Vista - Speed Up the Performance of Vista

Agreed. Thank you MilesAhead.

It has been removed.

i have a windows vista 32-bit home premium, the problem is that the boot up screen takes too long, the scrolling bar moves 24 times along, compared to a safe mode boot which only takes about 14 scrolls. what could be my problem?

In the start menu search type msconfig and hit enter.
In the Boot tab check the box for Boot Logging.

After you reboot search the Windows directory for
ntbootlog.txt

You can look at it in notepad. You'll probably see a whole bunch of lines like
failed to load driver c:\xxxxx\xxxx.sys

You have to find out what the drivers go to. It may be stuff
that's no longer on your system. If your machine came with Norton
stuff, and you uninstalled it manually or using de-crapifier type program
you will probably need to download the Norton Removal Tool and run it.

Google on the driver filenames before you do anything. Also it's a good
idea to make a restore point and if you have an image backup program,
back up your system in case it gets muddle to where it won't boot at all.

If you find out more and it's not obvious what to do, post again.
Before messing around too much make sure you have a way of
restoring your system to at least get back to where it is now.

Thanks', that was fine information.

You're welcome Ali Abou, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Hello Dr_Sdaa7,

I would recommend to use another program or see about increasing the horsepower of your system if it is needed.

Yes, you can translate this tutorial as long as it is not translated into English and that it is linked back to this tutorial.

truly helpful

Hi Shawn,
I have reduced the system restore disk space from 15GB to 3GB with:
System Restore - disk space
It really made my laptop very fast indeed, pages load almost instantly. I am sure you would already have known about this but just wanted to share my experience with you. Thank you for all your hard work.

Thank you Brummy.
