Re: very slow bootup

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you all. My problem is solved. I made a call to dell tech support who ran a malware tool and found 32 infections that my AVG and F-secure online scan could never detect. This cleaned up my system and now it boots up fast enough. It took 2 minutes and a few seconds to boot up. He used a malware detection application called malewarebytes'.
He also installed cclean a free system cleaner that cleaned a lot of junk too.

was careful not to insert space before Process and it accepted the

After typing the command, it just went back to prompt on the run
screen. It
did not confirm or deny accepting the command. That's why I assume that
the
command was accepted. However, my boot time has not improved.

See my first post in your thread,you have to check next things:

If you have any network drives then unmount them

another reason would be also any drivers or devices use Windows
Perforformace Analysis Tool to diagnose problem 'Windows Performance
Analysis Tools'
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801.aspx)

during diagnosing the source of problem you have to estimate drivers
Here you have easy guide how it use 'Speed up boot time in Windows
Vista using Windows Performance Toolkit'
