BOOT-UP PROBLEM?

Hi I'm Dave
I recently installed a programme called "Vistabootpro"?
Something like that anyway. I thought it would help me sort out the long time
it takes for my computer to boot. But i found it a bit to complex and
powerful. Having uninstalled it i now find my computer, on start-up, takes me
to a boot-up page, and then a Loading Files page and then computer type ect
page and then a disc checkpage? and then finally loads. Does anybody know how
i can get rid of these first four pages without doing a restore, because i'm
having probs with that! All good fun i know. I would very grateful for some
help

Re: BOOT-UP PROBLEM?

Rightclick the Command Prompt icon on the start menu, then 'run as
administrator'
Run this series of commands to rebuild your startup.

bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup
c:
cd boot
attrib bcd -s -h -r
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
bootrec /RebuildBcd

Hi Dave,

In addition to Mark's post above:

If that does not help, then you might try running a Startup Repair to see if it can fix the problem for you. You can see how in this tutorial if needed.
