Morning All,
My laptop computer has become increasingly slow to start up over the couple of years we have had it. I have no doubt this is due to the amount of stuff that has been installed since we got it. I have inspected the startup programs and cannot really found anything obvious that can be dumped (I think). I have a feeling that something is 'phoning home' to check for updates etc and this is taking the time.
Our desktop, that runs XP, was also suffering from very slow startup times so I downloaded and ran a nifty prog called BootVis - told me in graphical format what was taking the time to load. Sorted the problem immediately.
BootVis does not work on Vista and I cannot find amything similar. Is anyone aware of a program that will basically log the startup of Vista so i can see what is taking the time.
Cheers
