Discussion on:

Improve XP boot performance with BootVis

Is there an uninstaller avalable?

So where Can I get a copy?

I tried Bootvis and to look at the boot sequence it worked great. When I tried to use optomize a warning screan popped up "Timeout waiting for program to start" I clicked "ok" and another screan popped up saying defrag wouldn't start. Any explaination of this would be appreciated. I am running X P with SP2.
Thanks,
Jeff

Clear and concise - a dying art.

where's the f'ing link to download?

Here's an interesting situation. My PC is taking 3 hours to boot with XP Pro with SP 3. Yep, that's three hours to the log in screen. It's been getting worse for some time now. I recently installed another copy of XP Pro on the computer and it boots perfectly. Now to my question, I ran bootvis and came up with traces which show no boot or driver activity whatsoever. Disc activity began at approx 6.4 seconds, continued to about 20 seconds and halted until about 3464 seconds where activity started again. Processes were reported at 3948 seconds until ending at about 4000 seconds. Strangely enough, this does not total the three hours it takes to boot. Any ideas? Anyone?

BootVis is no longer readily available from MS

Hi
just installed and ran Bootvis.I was shocked to see I only get 3 graphs namely
cpu-disk i/o-driver delay
But I dont see the boot activity graph as shown in the instructions inn the tutorial.
your help would be appreciated
