booting and shutdown very slow.......help plzz

[champ_rock]

on the startup..before the gui... when the black screen comes up with a bar on the boottom....on that there should be written "Resuming Windows..."

also, another way to test would be to leave some programs like firefox and word open and then hibernate..
when u reboot then those programs will be "As it IS".. they will be opened in the same state....

do drive defragment where ur OS reside use registry cleaners free ur prefetch folder once a week use softwares like system mechanic to free clutter from ur disk

 

[47shailesh]

registry tweak type regedit at run window then right click on regedit window that pop up and search "eanbleprefetcher" where change value of binary data from 3 to 5 save and exit this might help u some time if hard disk becomes too old then results in slow start and shutdown

first reinstall the windows dont upgrade the windows.install the windows by formatting it or by deleting the previous windows in setup,

download the latest version of graphic card drivers and check for bios updates of u r mother board and if u have any latest updates ,install the bios updates.

chect u r first booting device is connected to harddisk only,

i dont think its a virus problem,but i think its a problem with drivers,if u get this download the latest version of drivers for all and install it.

Hi Think therez a virus or a spyware on ur pc....
Download Free antivirus and Antispyware..

 

[samrulez]

Also try defragmenting ur hard disk.It may help.Coz it is not due to not flushing the pagefile at shutdown coz it was fine before with the option disables.

Try disabling some of the unnecessary programs from msconfig.
another method defragment your hard disk.
check for spywares and viruses.

Following r very common things, which everyone should do in Windows XP:

1.) Disable all animation and affects.
2.) Set all unwanted services to MANUAL.
3.) Remove unwanted startup entries from Startup folder and registry.
4.) some registry tewaks, like autokilltimeout, servicestimeout, etc.

And yes! s/w like xteq, tuneup utilities, tweakUI, etc. hv many other tweaks which can make the system a lot faster...

apply no backgroung in desktop and no themes. if u can adjust with windows classic theme then u should apply. remove unwanted services and app run on startup. defrag ur registry and thats it......

Boot Optimize : just add this to your registry :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction]
"Enable"="Y"

1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Select WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000.
3. Select the HungAppTimeout value and set it to 1000 as well.
4. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop. Set the WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000. Select the
HungAppTimeout\set value and set it to 1000 as well.
5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control. Select the WaitToKillServiceTimeout value and set it to 1000.
6. Close the Registry Editor.


Decreasing Boot Time

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ PrefetchParameters]


Under this key there is a setting called EnablePrefetcher, the default setting of which is 3. Increasing
this number to 5 gives the prefetcher system more system resources to prefetch application data for
faster load times. Depending on the number of boot processes you run on your computer, you may get
benefits from settings up to 9. However, I do not have any substantive research data on settings above 5
so I cannot verify the benefits of a higher setting. This setting also may effect the loading times of
your most frequently launched applications. This setting will not take effect until after you reboot your system.

Decreasing boot time
creating a script to run on shutdown that deletes the temp folder and history shaved 2.5 seconds boot time
Create a batch file by doing the following:

- Open notepad and enter the following lines:

RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\"UserName without quotes"\Local Settings\History"
RD /S /q "C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Local Settings\History"
RD /S /q "D:\Temp\" <--"Deletes temp folder, type in the location of your temp folder"

2) Save the fily and then rename is something like deltemp.bat

3) Now click Start, Run and type in gpedit.msc --->Computer Configuration --->Windows Settings
--->Scripts and double click on Shutdown --->Click Add and find the batch file you created and press ok to set the script

Automatically Killing Tasks on Shutdown

You know the drill. You start to shut down the computer, you wait a few moments, and then you see a dialog box asking if you want to kill an
application or service that is running. Instead of prompting you, you can make Windows XP take care of the kill task automatically. Here's how



1. Open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
3. Highlight the value AutoEndTasks and change the value to 1.
4. Close the Registry Editor.
