Excellent and easy. Startup time was 2 minutes before in a LAN network. After upgrading memory, it become worse to 15 minutes. I run this small tool, then just reboot as directed, and then it truly starts at 30 seconds. Thanks

That may be what MS says, but me experience says otherwise. After running bootvis, my boot times were reduced by 40%. Maybe MS has the same type of software built in, but I've never seen the results of it.

This toll will not make a Windows XP system boot faster. It is explicitly stated by Microsoft that it will not. The routines in bootvis are already included with XP.

Read what Microsoft has to say;
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/sysperf/fastboot/default.mspx

"Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into Windows XP. These routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system."

Downloaded and can not find any instructions on what to do with it. Opened bootvis from Programs list but just get a blank screen and selecting from items on left gets me nothing. What now? XP Home SP2 IE7

Excellent program and truly freeware with no strings attached. Just download it and it will do the rest. Very simple and very effective.

This is a great program for optimizing your computer's boot speed from the startup, standby and hibernation modes. It is absoutely free and the file size is very small, making it an excellent download. It is very powerful. I recommend this program to everyone.
