I usually boot up windows in under 3 blue sliding bars. I messed around with graphics drivers, trying some new ones and then returninig back to 93.71 now my windows boots up in 13 sliding bars. What has happened and how do i get it back to 3 bars.

I hjave tried cleaning registry, optimizinbg/ defragging registry. HDD defrag, only 1 start up item in msconfig tried to restore to an earlier date but the restore couldnt restore sucessfully.

What can i do as this is annoyingly slow

thanks

i'd say system restore would be your best bet unless you have a third party application to restore. problem is your antivirus doesnt want you to restore. that is, if your antivirus is norton.

fix:

Just an idea.. Run, type "msconfig" without the quotes, Boot.ini tab, and check NOGUIBOOT.

See if that helps at all.

My windows xp os also took more than 10 sliding bars to boot up. Is the suggestion provided by hermeslyre a recommended method to fix this long boot up and does it modify any major system settings? Are there any post effect as well? Be it good or bad?

hermeslyre

The suggestion I posted was just a way to stop the GUI Boot process. It's not a fix for this situation that I know of, I just thought it could help reduce the time it took to boot into Windows.

I have tried numerous system restores and none have been sucessful and i dont have norton

i also did a full system defrag and this didnt help either. What makes it load so slow - i have disbalked some devices at start up diasbled some services and done lots of defragging its annoying now

Have you tried the idea suggested by hermeslyre? If so, does it work out?

taylormsj

Im not going to try as all it does is removes the windows boot screenw hcih would take only a second of the time
