Vista - Slow bootup!

Vista Ultimate x64
 
 

Slow bootup!

Hey guys

To start off, my specs are:
Gigabyte MA770-UD3
AMD Phenom II X4 940
6gb 800mhz ram
8600 GT XXX Zalman Fanksink
640 Western Digital 7200 RPM

I instlaled a clean Vista ultimate x64 2 days ago
After I updated vista with windows update today, my boot time has drastically increased (60-75s).
I have done all the tweaks, disabled useless services etc.

I don't understand why, I'm expecting around 30-40s boot time with my CPU and memory =/

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

You might need to clear up a couple items for anyone who can help you.

Did you install it then? What was running before that install?

What do you mean by "updated vista"? Do you mean that you installed
all the necessary updates, including SP1?

Re: Slow bootup!

You don't update Vista from 32 bit to 64 bit. You perform a clean install.
The very first thing you do after the clean install is install the requisite
motherboard drivers from the M/B manufacturer.

Is this how you "updated"?

Re: Slow bootup!

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I installed a clean version of Vista ultimate x64 SP1, and then a day later I proceeded to use windows update to update things.

Did you update your drivers?

Did you install EVERY Vista update?

Re: Slow bootup!

Yes I updated my drivers.
I didn't install all of them - I installed most of the security updates etc.

If needed, I can post pictures of my services etc.
