xp different to vista
« 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
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.
