I'm looking for a program that will show me exactly what is happening during boot up and how long each operation is taking. I'm aware of the Microsoft program Bootvis (see more here: http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardware_bootvis.php), but unfortunately its a tad unreliable and Microsoft has also stopped supporting/updating it. Bootvis has issues with XP SP2 and P4s with Hyperthreading which makes it virtually useless for any modern computer. It seems that Bootvis is the only program of its kind. Nowhere is there any hint that ANOTHER program exists to log the boot process with detailed time information, much less optimize anything. Can anyone give me any leads?

Thanks in advance,

P.S. Yeah, yeah, I know XP is supposed to optimize the boot procedure on its own every few days. I also know that Windows always works correctly all of the time, and VISTA will be released on time, and everything you read on the internet is TRUE, and the tooth fairy exists, and...Someone just told me about a program called SOluto, apparently it used to be free,

Not sure if that would work for you, MSconfig can also tell you whats running at startup

HTHThis is a really old thread but I suppose folks might RUN into it. I won't repost the entire details here but if anybody stumbles upon it- Windows 7 and 8 include a Tool called the "Windows Performance Recorder" and "Windows Performance Analyzer" that can be used for this purpose.Quote from: needsomehelp on February 26, 2014, 01:49:59 PM

Please don't resurrect dead threads. Thank you.
