I've tried all the common fixes posted around the net. I get a two minute boot in safe mode and in reg mode with nothing in the startup. I feel that after looking at the bootlog file that it has something to do with drivers that don't load during the boot. According to the log I have dozens and dozens of drivers that apparently don't load. Here is a sample of the log. I don't enclose the whole log because it is very large. I will if necessary:

I've recently put together a new computer using these parts: I've updated to Vista Ultimate SP1, run multiple disk clean ups, defrags, use CCleaner, clean the registry, defrag the registry, disabled services and have made tweaks according to the guide provided on this website and have minimal startup programs running but my boot times average around 2 minutes. For a new computer with new hardware, this seems unreasonable as many users report boot times between 30-60 seconds. What could be wrong with my computer? On the vista loading screen with the green bar, it goes through about 22 cycles.
I have a HP pavilion laptop which came with 64 bit vista ultimate pre-installed. I shrinked the OS partition (160 GB), created new partition (40 GB) for 64 bit windows 7 ultimate. After installation of Windows 7, I cannot see the vista ultimate boot option when I boot my PC. When I boot into Windows 7, I still can see the vista partition. But instead of C: it is now displayed as E: I used the HP Recovery Disc to repair windows vista but I can only see a blank blue screen with the mouse pointer. How can I recover the vista?
I put in a new 250GB HDD (SATA) as my primary drive. I have two DVD RW (one SATA and one EIDE). I formated and installed a clean version of Vista Ultimate on the 250GB drive using the install tools on the Vista DVD. Restarted the system without issues without the DVD in. Used the User migration tool on the Vista DVD to move the backed up files from my previous install to the clean install.
Now, if I start my computer, it says that the HDD is not a valid boot disk. If I start with the Vista DVD in one of the two DVD drives, it boots into the windows on the C drive without issue. I tried running the Startup Repair from the DVD, and it has not changed it
- I've already have XP Pro installed on my Dell Laptop - Created a 15G partition on the same HDD using Partition Magic - Went to BIOS and changed the Boot sequence to Boot From CD - Inserted my Vista CD - Vista started loading the files......... - Entered the Product Key - On the next screen, where you choose where to install vista, I have C, E, and F partitons and I can select each of them, but the "NEXT" is grayed out. I wanted to install the Vista on my F partion (all are NTFS) but the "Next" is grayed out and on the bottom left hand side there is a message saying" windows can not install the OS on this partion". -Tried to delete the partion, format the partions, but getting the same message. - 5 months ago I successfully was able to install the VISTA on this laptop, dualbooted with XP. But not anymore. - My Admin formated my laptop 3 months ago as I moved to a different group within my organization and there wasn't a need to use VISTA. But now, I want to use both XP and VISTA again.
Vista used to boot up very quickly. Now it spends ages on the page with the "loading" bar. Is it performing some sort of CHKDSK during this time? I only have sidebar and rocket dock starting up, and it's fast again when it gets to the desktop, it's just that loading bit takes quite an ages, and it didn't used to. Virus/spyware/malware free. How do i find out if it's doing some sort of chkdsk at boot?
Vista Ultimate 64 Crashed, Tried Recovery Dvd, Start-up Repair, Ng, Can't Get Into Safe Mode Or Command Prompt, Tried To Reinstall, Won't Allow Upgrade "upgrade Disablied, Must Be From Windows", But I Can't Get Into Windows. I Don't Want To Do A Clean Install To Much On There. It Also Seems My Restore Poits Are Gone. This Is After Diskkeeper Did A Boot Defrag.
Iīve just built a new PC 4gb ram, intel quad 6600 Asus p5b SE mobo. I installed Vista ultimate on it and itīs taking 5 minutes to start up and it took 5 hours to install COD4! everything is very slow. I installed XP Pro 32 Bit on it.. and it performs as fast as i expected. I installed Vista Home Premium from an Acer recover disk i had laying around 32 bit again and once again itīs quick.
I've had vista for around 10 months and never really had a problem with the internet but in the last week I've noticed it is running really slowly. No explaination it just runs slow, really slow. I have AVG, stopped running that, I've rolled back recent windows updates, I've done a system restore to last week. My network card has a greyed out rollback button so can't do that.
Also I've ran some speed tests and I get around 250k download and a 690k upload which again is strange, but I've ran the same test on a eeePC running linux and a laptop running XP and get 1mb download with a 690k upload.
I have a pc that has been booting slow and I checked in the performance area and found two issues effecting the system. One is for slow startup, and it gives me three programs that are doing this. I see one I will not be able to do anything with and two I should. They are:
1.) Symantec ( 67.7 seconds) ccSvchst.exe 2.) Acrobat Distiller (51.1 seconds) acrodist.exe 3.) Windows Mail (28.4 seconds) WinMail.exe
I went to find the programs and get them to stop loading "2 and 3) but they still load up. How do I stop them from loading on startup? Also on the other issue for visual settings. I tried to goto basic vista display but still get this Performance issue coming up in the Advanced tools area.
i was just installing some extra languages on the ultimate extra update, i just selected all the updates to download as i was in a rush go leave home, it came up to about 5gb, it wasnt a problem because i was going out for about 4 hours. i came back home, download was complete and was installing the language packs, at first i thought it was stuck because computer started to run extra sluggish, but just as i was about to restart computer the bar moved, so i just waited, just doing some browsing etc on this forum, researching and getting tips and tricks etc., despite the fact that it was still running slow..i checked the cpu usage, the cpu was fine, but with suprise, the ram was running about 1.9gb ( i have 2gb ram). first of all, is the language pack suppose to take that long to install? and is it suppose to use that much of the ram?
I see Windows Sound Schemes, and DreamScene Content Pack 3 now available. Also the Windows Vista Ultimate Language Packs are back after the SP1 upgrade.
Considering there have been some (doubtful..?) images available on various torrents for weeks now, I'm wondering why so slow in posting the full Vista Ultimate with SP2 slipstreamed DVD .iso on Technet Plus
I Have Windows Vista OEM 32 bit that came on my computer. I noticed that the full retail version of ultimate includes the 32 and 64 bit install. With the anytime upgrade to ultimate can I choose between the 32 and 64 bit vista ultimate? I do realize that I would have to do a clean install of the 64 bit OS. I would like to try the 64 bit version but would also like to be able revert back to the 32 bit if the 64 bit doesn't work out. If I can't then the 32 bit version it is as I need to join a domain.........
installed SP1. Used to take 10 minutes to boot and another 1-2 to log in. Now it's 15 min to boot and at least 8 minutes to log in. Launching any program is coffee trip time, if I brew a new pot sometimes Vista is ready when I get back. Nice. Attta boy M$, way to bork it up again core 2 duo 2ghz, 4GB of ram (top of the line HP notebook) Fresh install of the OS (drive barfed)
I used to be able to boot up in no time. The microsoft vista "lightbar" used to scroll left to right about 5 times. Now, it scrolls 43 times.
I did the Visual basic test that I found here and my boot up time is 155 seconds. I do know part of my problem is my antivirus but looking around I found more problems.I have major bootup errors in the event log.
I tried everything in here: Boot Up And I still have a slow startup: 30-40 seconds just on the Windows loading bar. When I first installed Vista it was not like this. I tried to figure out what was causing this so I downloaded xperf and did a xbootmgr trace.
I have all the latest windows updates installed, including Service Pack 2. I also have latest BIOS installed. I have already configured msconfig for start up applications and services. But, still my computer boots very slowly. Right now it takes about 1 minute and 20 seconds to boot up.
Can a slow boot up of an Acer Aspire 4710 laptop is caused by a not updated BIOS software? The laptop has a Core 2 duo processor and Windows Vista Home Basic.
A rough timeline:Turn on PC, 18 seconds - bios screen flashes up for a split second (this hasn't always happened), follwed by "checking nv ram" followed by a screen that shows the two CD drives (why?)- black- 34 seconds - vista loading bar. 46 seconds - black 1.53 (!!!!!) - Windows icon appears. 1.56 - login ready
On fresh install (week or so ago) it was fine, then there were 48 updates to install...since then it's been slow. I've ensured HDD is first boot device, i've defragged the HDD, even tried RC1 of SP1, but that just seemed to make it crash so i've since uninstalled it - made no difference to my boot time.
my Vista booted with scrolling the green thingy about 7 times. Yesterday, all of a sudden, it started to boot with scrolling it about 20-25 times. I tried to turn off some programs to load with Windows (Steam, Adobe and iTunes). Also turned some services off/put to Manual (like Printer Spooler, iTunes Helper and so on), but that didn't help. When I installed Windows I found out that disabling service named Server made the boot time that short and it's still disabled. what might slow down the boot up process? I guess something related to network and networking services but I'm not sure.
First time I started it up It worked fine. Then I installed some programs (two games, a DVD media player, MSN Messenger).
The first few times I restarted the PC it was fine, but then after Windows Vista installed the Updates it rebooted and now it reboots EXTREMELY slow. And this on the first day!
It takes at least 10 minutes at the Bios-Screen and then when it is done there it slowly (another 5 min at least) to start windows.
After start-up everything works fine.
What should I do? Did I do something wrong during an install?
I neve had such problems with XP, although removing McAfee AV really quickened the start up (not the initial Bios Booting though) whern I had XP.
It takes about 2 minutes to boot to all my startup programs. However, for the next 10 to 15 minuts the hard drive is running continuously. If I try to run another app., e.g. Outlook, it will freeze and the "Not Responding" notation appears at the top of the screen. I've tried to nail down what might be hogging the hard drive (using reliability and performance monitor) but can't identify any single program. I have 50 gigs free space, 2 GB RAM. I defrag once a week and clean up temp files and cashes once a day. It seems all proposed solutions I've run across lead me to one of the registry cleanup programs. I run Reg. Clean & Wise Registry Cleaner once a week. Real time monitoring by McCafee and Windows Defender. I have run both AD Aware and Spy Bot frequently.
i recently formatted and reinstalled windows on my computer and for some reason i have had nothing but trouble since. a run down of my problems, i had 4gb of ram now she will only run on 2gb, she used to be really fast at booting up and shuting down and now i can flick her on and have my breakfast before she has even thought about doing anything. I had a nosey in the event logger and amongst the hundred of errors daily, the one mark BOOT ERROR, is this one.
no viruses, hard drives are defragged and check disked. for the record when she is on she is fine, no problems, just booting up and shutting down it starts playing up
I have a notebook with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit on it. The problem is that my boot is take a lot of time. First I get the BIOS screen with the Dell logo that is taking about 3 seconds (so that is good). But the loading bar is taking a lot of time. It is going from left to right for 13 times (This is not normal I think). After that, my screen is going blank for about 10 seconds and then I get a black screen with mouse cursor for about 10 seconds and then again a blank screen for 10 seconds (So a total of 30 seconds, which also not normal). After that I get the vista logo with the sound and the welcome screen, which is taking a long time (for about 25 seconds).
After that I get a blank screen for 20 seconds and then the desktop appears and from now on everything is running fine. So my question is: WHAT is causing this slow boot! I have already read the tutorial 'How to Speed Up Vista Boot Time' and did everyting they said. My startup programs are Kaspersky Internet Security and MSN Messenger. I have enabled superfetch and prefetch and set the registry value on 3. What else can I do to decrease the boot time?
For the last few days my 'pc' (http://www.vistax64.com/) takes three and half minutes to load. I did have the windows update KB954430 installed around that time. All malware and virus scans come up clean. Could this update be the problem? It takes 90 sec. to get to the welcome screen, then the screen goes black untill the programs begin to load at 195 seconds. the loading of programs seems to be in a normal time frame.
My computer has Vista Home Premium installed but about a couple of weeks ago my computer started to boot up slow (taking about 10 minutes). I couldn't figure out the problem and neither could anybody else so I am going to re-install vista.Is it possible to re-install vista without losing any personal or program data?
Boot Failure - bad ndis.sys, Status 0xC...C9, please insert Install disk and repair (I paraphrase) Tried ALL boot options and got the same result, so I ran the repair from the install disk. The Startup Repair ran for over twelve hours then I got BSOD: STOP 0x0000000A (0xDE49854E 0x00000002 0x00000000 0x888BA8D7)
Tried boot again same results as before; i.e. ndis. Running Startup Repair again now, two hours and counting. BTW running repair off of Anytime Upgrade disk if that makes any difference.
Just curious before I install Ultimate 64-bit on my new rig. I see that the Ultimate 64-bit OEM contains both 32 and 64-bit versions on the box. I was initially planning on installing the 32-bit and in a few months (or more) when the 64-bit has better support, re-installing the 64-bit version. Would it be feasible to just get another hard drive and install BOTH versions now on a dual-boot system?
I'm running a workstation w/ 6 hard drives. My 1st O/S on a separate HD is Win 2K. 3 yrs. later I added XP Pro on another HD. Last yr. I added Vista Ult. on a 3rd separate HD. All worked well & after the SCSI initialization I got to choose which of the 3 to use. Foolish me: I decided to load one of the 3 remaining HDs w/ XP Pro so I could use it exclusively for gaming. Now when I power up I still get THREE choices but instead of Win 2K, XP Pro, and Vista, I get XP Pro (new), XP Pro, Win 2K, but Vista is no longer displayed as a boot choice. Any idea what happened and how I can get it re-displayed?
