I forget what it was (maybe loading it in safe mode?) but there is a way to get windows to show all the drivers that are being loaded when the 'XP loading' screen shows up with the bars. You may be able to see what is causing the slow down.

i would love to see that

This is an entire thread dedicated to this topic - and it has good advice.

 

[Savarak]

don't just delete/empty out the prefetch folder... disable it entirely by changing the settings in registry

Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into Windows XP. These routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system.

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/sysperf/fastboot/default.mspx

Are they saying Bootvis invokes builtin WinXP commands? It still effectively improves boot performance then? If it doesn't improve it for end-users who does it improve it for? :Q

I'm certain it's drivers causing the many progress bar loops. For example, NVIDIA IDE drivers slow me down.

Holy crap, you might as well just uninstall Windows.

I installed and ran this program this week and found my boot-up time increased dramatically.

Hmm...ive been looking at some stuff, and decided to try Velks idea first...

So i tried bootlogging...

1)it didnt display the drivers as they load

2)it didnt write a file called bootlog.txt

And for some damn reason, when i run the bootvis trace and reload, and the program starts up, there is NO info on the graphs...ahhh

 

[Dethfrumbelo]

Try reducing your startup programs and services to the bare minimum. Other than that, try cutting back registry bloat.

If all else fails, format+reinstalling Windows should do the trick.

I found this log after searching for a while...Ntbtlog.txt, not bootlog.txt...similar though.

That is the Windows XP version of bootlog.txt

well how can i tell what takes long to load? lol

backup, wipe drive, reinstall.

Formatting to try to fix an unknown problem is stupid. It's better to figure out what's causing the sluggish load, so that he knows in the future.

 

[ManBearPig]

^ agree.

There are programs that analyze bootlog.txt (found in older windows versions), but nothing that does the same for this boot log.

I hope you're doing some searching too and not just relying on our replies... try googling all the drivers that did not load and try to find out why.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Create a restore point and run the program I posted above. My boot-up time has been dramatically decreased. It disables a number of unnecessary services and boot-up drivers.

Ouch, I just tried it and it INCREASED my boot up time :thumbsdown:

Im not just relying on your replies, but they help.

Why should i google the drivers that did NOT load? That wouldnt be the problem, would it? Anyway...i tried, and all i get is crap telling me to dl the driver i searched for.

It sucks because since bootvis doesnt work, i cant tell which driver is taking forever.

Well I'm glad you're trying on your own because I'm out of ideas.. I hope I didn't come off as being rude when I asked that, it's just there's nothing more I can really think of, other than upgrading your HDD or RAM, but I'm not sure how much, if any, upgrading the RAM would help.

My theory behind checking which drivers did not load is that maybe they are trying to load, and aren't, but since they're trying it is slowing it down. I don't know if that's even true, but I thought it might be worth investigating.

 

[ManBearPig]

Ah well, thanks for the help. Its not that bad...just kind of annoying.
