all other defrag tools are crap and SLOW down Windows!

Test other AV tools. For me MSE is also slow. Try Avira AntiVir as a free AV.

ohh. okay. thanks :D hahaha. okay i'll consider Avira. XDD

Hi there guys.Perfect tutorial that helped me a lot!

I have a quick question though.

Before i format my compturer(and before i even know the existance of this forum,hence the tutorial) my reboot time(i say reboot because i used to mesure my reboot time via a .bat script) was 51 sec.

Now after the format and after all the instranctions that i followed correctly(even installed the hotfixes) my reboot time is 55sec.

So i'm asking you what can i do to drop below 51 sec that i had before format and before even touching the prefetch etc etc.

Here is the link that my boot time is right now.

With this .vbs script (open a notepad and paste it there, the save as .vbs)

Option Explicit

On Error Resume Next

Dim Wsh, Time1, Time2, Result, PathFile, MsgResult, MsgA, AppName, KeyA, KeyB, TimeDiff

MsgA = "Please close all running applications and click on OK."

KeyA = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RestartTime\"

KeyB = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\RestartTime"

AppName = "ReBoot-Time"

Set Wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

PathFile = """" & WScript.ScriptFullName & """"

Result = wsh.RegRead(KeyA & "Times")

if Result = "" then

MsgResult = Msgbox (MsgA, vbOKCancel, AppName)

If MsgResult = vbcancel then WScript.Quit

Wsh.RegWrite KeyA & "Times", left(Time,8), "REG_SZ"

Wsh.RegWrite KeyB, PathFile, "REG_SZ"

Wsh.Run "cmd /c Shutdown -r -t 00", false, 0

else

Wsh.RegDelete KeyA & "Times"

Wsh.RegDelete KeyA

Wsh.RegDelete KeyB

TimeDiff = DateDiff("s",Result,left(Time,8))

MsgBox "Your computer reboots in " & TimeDiff & " seconds", VbInformation, AppName

end if

wscript.Quit

i indeed didn't let it finish sooner so i will do it again now :)

Hello!

I'm new here and i saw a lot of solved cases here, so I have decided to post my case too.

I have a Dell Inspiton N7010 Laptop with a 5400rpm WD HDD and Windows 7 x64. The boot time is taking too long. I have to wait about 3 minutes until i can get to work. The Welcome Screen stays for about 2 minutes while the HDD led remains lit.

A couple of months ago, I didn't have this problem. The Welcome screen took about 15 sec to load.

If i disable all services through msconfig and boot, Windows loads very fast.

I'm waiting for some suggestions...

I remember installing Sony Media Manager, but I didn't use it so I uninstalled it a long time ago.

I can see, thogh, the service SQL Server (SONY_MEDIAMGR2) and probably other SQL Express services, but how can I uninstlall them? I cannot find them in the Uninstall list (and I have a lot of SQL servers installed there)

I uninstalled Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express and it asked me if i want to remove Sony media manager and i said yes. The service is now gone, but the Welcome Screen delay didn't improve at all.
