My computer is using windows vista ultimate 32. I just wondering how can I boost the speed of boot cuz it takes longer to boot when I turn on and shutdown my computer. Furthermore, I also noticed that when I right-click at 'My Computer' icon, it takes more than 15s to show up. Have any one faced this problem? I have tried several methods to speed the show up of 'My Computer' right-click but none succeed.
You can also: Turn of System Restore Deactivate Shadow Copies (did a huge improvement on my rig concerning boot speed and Vistas unsatisfiable disk space munching) Downside: You have no system restore features after that so you should use external imaging software (eg Acronis) to make a backup of your System drive. I still doubt though that you will be on your desktop in less than a minute..in fact thats already pretty normal speed to boot a vista that is in full operation has software installed, drivers etc. Especially Video Drivers do consume a long time of the boot process, also you can check if assigning a fixed IP Adress to your network adapter (eg: 192.168.0.10 subnet:255.255.255.0) speeds your booting up. If you would take more than 2-3 minutes on a fast computer to be fully operational i would maybe start to think theres something wrong.
Quite helpful, thanks. I'm using AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ 3.1, with 2G ram DDR3, Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT. I think my computer should boot less than a minute with that specification, where it isn't, hence making me wonder why. So, I want to know way to speed up my ultimate vista.
