Running MS VPC/VHD On VMPlayer?
Feb 6, 2012I've been using the free VMPlayer to run a guest Windows 7-32 system on my Windows 7-64 host, and it has worked well. I like it much better than Microsoft's VirtualPC, which has been very flaky for me. Now I want to try VMPlayer with a free vhd image that Microsoft offers to try out the full Visual Studio product.
I've seen several places on the net that say VMPlayer can mount VHD and VPC files natively, but I saw others that imply you first need to run it through VMware converter. That's a small, free download, so I installed the standalone Converter 5.0. But when I tried to mount the VPC in VMPlayer, I got a message saying that Converter was not configured correctly, uninstall it and try again.Converter gave me no options during the install to configure anything but the install folder, and I used the default for that, so I don't see what good reinstalling it would do. So I'm asking the experts:
a) do I actually need Converter to run VirtualPC images in VMPlayer? I would rather not have two 50GB images if I only need one. If you run a vpc file on VMPlayer, is it slower than if you run a conversion? Are the answers the same for VMWare's Workstation, which is evidently more powerful than VMPlayer?
b)if I do need Converter, what am I missing about the install that makes VMPlayer give me that message? I would guess that if I converted the image first and then opened it in VMPlayer it would work, but again, it's 50 freaking GB, and that would take up almost all my free space, and probably take several hours to run, so I don't want to do it unless I have to.
Slow Boot Time Slow Startup And Hangs?
Nov 18, 2011I bought this Fujitsu laptop for less than a year. Its only for my school work. It takes forever to bootup, startup and it sometime hangs when I open up a program or typing.For the bootup, it takes very long time on the window logo, after that the black screen, followed by the welcome page with the loading cursor. Each of this process take a long time. For startup, its not so long but its still quite lag. For the opening up of program and typing, everytime I open up my visual studio, it will take a long time to show up and even if it showed up, it will be "not responding".So I will have to open it a second time before I can start using itWhen I am typing my codes, it will randomly hang and show that the program is not responding. I am still able to move my cursor though.

Apr 2, 2012Gathering a Startup, Shutdown, Sleep, Hibernate, or Reboot Trace As cluberti said, the trace may not show useful data as it came after a BSOD - I have not been able to get a startup trace without error messages coming up at the end: I can avoid BSODs by removing the +DRIVERS part of the string, but I still cannot end up with a proper boot trace for some reason (please see the above thread for details of the error message I get).This trace is the one gathered after a BSOD. I have another trace which measures 3.5GBs in size - no idea why so large, I guess part of the error ('can't stop trace'). Can't upload it anyway.

Slow Boot Into Desktop
Oct 27, 2012I have been noticing a gradual increase in boot time to the desktop - not actually sure when it was relatively normal. However yesterday it took so long to get there ( 5 minutes plus), I though it was not going to boot up. Did eventually get there after a few reboots.
This morning it's still slow but at least I'm getting there. System seems fine once it's up and running. This is what I'm getting;
Black post screen - seems to take a while to initialise USB controllers - around 30 seconds or so. Goes onto Windows splash screen - sits there for around 20 seconds.
Screen then goes black - monitor says "no signal detected" - sits there for around 30 seconds Welcome screen appears with whirring thing in the middle - around 20 seconds
Desktop appears but can take around a minute to fully load. Going into event manager and viewing the ID 100 log shows;
Log Name: Microsoft-Windows-Diagnostics-Performance/Operational

Sep 21, 2012I have an idea I have asked before but cannot find the query but the machine is getting slower. I have an old prebuilt that I picked up for nothing that I run as a tester for various things. It has an Intel quad core Q9650 @3.0GHz 4GB G-Skill DDR2 RAM @ 800MHz an Intel D43NB (LGA 775) board (chipset G45/43) Rev 3 running 7 64bit from a Crucial M4 120GB SSD. Now this machine has always been a bit slow from power on to Windows actually starting up (flag forming) then it goes quickly to login. The BIOS is set to boot from the SSD. Now I have tried all the tweaks in the optimise tut including that one that shortens the Menu show delay time. I have also kept the start up items to a minimum and stopped service that I don't or very rarely use.

Windows 7 Slow To Boot
Mar 24, 2011My son has a Dell Vostro 200MT. Windows 7 32 bit, upgraded from Vista. He has a e7200 CPU, onboard graphics, 4GB Ram. He has been doing some intense computing and said he has been maxing out his CPU's at 100% for weeks. For starters, the system for several months has not shut-down, only reset when asked to shutdown. He has been using sleep mode. Over the past several days, when starting up it goes to the BSOD. This could be from him powering down PC since it won't shutdown. Now, system takes over 5 minutes to boot up. When logged in, the windows maximize and minimize in slow motion. You can see them slowly open/close and move across the screen and are translucent. We did a fresh install of windows 7 and have same thing. He thinks that the CPU may be destroyed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Boot And Performance Slow Down?
Mar 3, 2012I have, within the past few weeks, build my own computer. The compter has worked great for a while, but then started having problems. It had problems with the internet and other stuff, but I was able to fix the problems by disabling parts of my firewall. Now though, when my computer boots Windows, it goes to the login screen fine and without problems. Then when I log in, it says "Welcome" for about 2 minutes, until I am able to get my account. Then, when I get into my account, the computer runs really slow and almost can't run anything it is so slow. So my question is why would this be happening? I know that it isn't the CPU's speed because it is over 3 GHz and has worked fine for me and the overall build is a very high speed gaming computer. This is my first computer. The details of the computer are this: CPU-Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3 GHz Motherboard-Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3P LGA 1155 INTEL Z68 OS-Windows 7 Home Premium There are two hard drives on the computer, a 1 TB HDD and a 60 GB SSD?

Nov 20, 2010In the last few days it's gone from taking me maybe a minute to boot to several minutes and even after the computer has fully booted there is random slowdown, but there aren't really any processes using up cpu cycles according to the task manager. I've tried everything from reverting to another save point, defragging, limiting which services and programs start at boot, reinstalling drivers and and various programs without luck. I tried using the windows performance analysis tools to study what was running when during the boot process and it's pretty inconclusive. It runs much better in safe mode. I also run Linux and it does not seem laggy and as I've tested the hard disk and ram I'm lead to believe it's not a hardware issue.

I checked the running processes from task manager but there's nothing to do with them, also startup programs aren't taking too much memory. My function keys are not working except for volume control. I am pretty sure that there's no virus in my system, I checked it with my antivirus (nod32) and microsoft security essentials. I also checked my c drive with CHKDSK it could'nt find any error related.

Intel SSD Chronically Slow Boot
Jul 8, 2009new to the site but long time MCSE etc blah blah...
I'm running a HP nx8430 laptop. 3GB Ram Ati display etc.
I recently installed an INTEL X25-M SATA SOLID STATE drive and installed Windows 7 RC on it.
Now I've been running the Beta's and various builds since last november and it's been fine. Boot times have been great and performance amazing.
Since installing this SSD though my laptop now takes about 5 minutes to move on from the boot logo!!! 5 minutes no joke! The hard drive light goes solid for this entire time and the logo throbs like it does. And then finally it displays CTRL ALT DEL...
I have tried all sorts from the BIOS drive settings to MSCONFIG settings etc. Nothing changes it.
It's the same coming out of hibernate too. 5 minutes + before the mouse or KB start to respond to input.
All other forums posts I've read all say it boots in about 40 seconds with an SSD. I'm on the verge of going back to my SATA disk as this is almost unusable on a daily basis.
Once into the OS it flies! Apps open instantly and everything runs SOOOO well it's just this boot time that's killing me.
Any ideas please?
