my old hp craptop boots so quick - ( i measure boot time by how many times the blue bars slide ACROSS during the xp loading screen)

my laptop does it in like 5 slides.

this desktop takes 11 slides....
bios has quick boot ENABLED
i disabled page file dumping on shutdown
disabled all startup prorgams and services (non windows)

enabled boot defrag in regedit

got rid of all unused porgrams and files, and i am malwayre free and have good performance...

what else can i do?

cuz tbh, my craptop has a intel centrino, and is old as heck

this desktop has more ram, a p4 2.66ghz and a radeon 9600xt 128mb

what else can i do?

thanksIs this really important to you? Does it really matter how long it takes to boot? If it does, you can do the following:

Open msconfig and on the General tab choose "selective startup" (uncheck all three items) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem reappears and you'll have IDENTIFIED the offending process. This is clearly a time consuming procedure, but it is the best way to determine if some process loading with the system is the cause of your problem.

After you've isolated the cause, do not use msconfig to permanently disable the process. Instead, if it is a service go to START - RUN and type: services.msc (then press enter) and disable the service OR, if it a program, you can download & run a simple app such as Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) to enable, disable, or otherwise manage startup programs.
I go make coffee when i power up the 3 PC's i run.I just got this program called "bootvis"

It "optimized my settings"


Now my PC starts after 1 bar slides...O_O

edit: well 5 bars now after it saved the settings...but im happy As long as you're happy.

BTW - bootvis was withdrawn by Microsoft about 5 years ago because it sometimes caused major issues. I never had any PROBLEMS with it, but don't use it unless you have to.
