Title: xp different to vista
Post by: JonnyJobin on September 22, 2019, 06:51:19 pm
Hello everyone,, Looking for probably a very simple answer. Just bought the wife a fairly basic laptop which has vista home basic installed along with 3 months of Norton (which will be removed shortly to NOD32). Very slow to boot up and slow to close down. On XP I could use all programmes, select "run" and use msconfig to select programmes to boot with,to speed up .vin check (https://www.quickppsr.com.au/vin-check) There doesmt seem to be the same options on vista. Any ideas how I can speed up boot and shut down. cheers

There's a guide on wikipedia: https://neosmart.net/wiki/fix-slow-boot/ or you can change the Value data to 0.2 seconds in "SYSTEM" control set. You'll need to type regedit in win search window.
