Re: Does Vista 64 bit boot slower ?

Hi Mike :

It is slower going from login to desktop. I realize what I have put in will
slow the process, but again...I have nothing new starting up then I had
before....as a matter of fact, I have even less. I do have macafee loading,
but i had it loading before.

CHAD : Thanks for the info...I went into service.msc and eliminated a
couple
of things which seemed to help a bit, but system still drags at boot up.
I
don't get a lot of sense out of the blackviper.com link....it doesn't seem
to
be very clear to me.

DONALD : I really don't notice any appreciable difference in speed with
the
64 bit. It was a clean install. What I really need is a clear list of
optional services. I've checked and my hardware is definately compatible
with 64 bit. Thank you.

Have the 64bit version Vista been working faster after the installation
on
your machine? How did you install it on your machine? Is it a upgrade or
a
clean reinstallation? If it is always working like that with a clean
reinstallation, you can use msconfig to disable all the optional services
and program from the startup group and see whether it will be quicker.
Otherwise you may like to check the hardware compatibility for Vista 64.
Defragment and some cleaning inside the box may also help.

Ok..at the risk of sounding stupid, I'm going to ask this anyway. I
just
installed Vista Business 64 bit after using Home Premuim 32 bit. I
have
four
gigs of Ram, and have changed nothing. My system now takes at least
twice
as
long to boot up than it did before. Is this normal ? or is my system
just
wacked.

Thanks.




Which part of the boot up is slow? Power on to the Login screen, or Login to
a usable desktop?

In the first instance, and especially if you have installed SP2, if there is
a USB external drive or scanner connected, that can slow the boot process.
Hardware driver versions may make a difference too, as can faulty RAM..

In the second instance, start up items like anti-virus software can have an
effect. On a clean install, the regular start ups and processes should not
really be affecting the machine. Anything that you added may do though..
