Hi, I wonder if you all can help me,my laptop takes nearly 4 to 5 minute to start up,I know that depending on how many things you have the start up would take more or less time.
I checked or unchecked everything possible on my machine,via this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control.
Click on the "Control" Folder.
Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"
Right click on it and select Modify.
Set it to a value lower than 2000, say 1000 as a test.
I was able to have a faster shut down.
but know I would like to speed up the start up.
does anybody have any idea ?
thank you very much.
thomas

Hi Thomas,
There is a good tweak that will increase general performance over the whole computer... Start -> Run -> Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> PriorityControl Once in here, create a new DWORD value called IRQ8Priority with the value of 1 Reboot.

Sure,
Once you navigate to that location in your registry - if you right click in the right window, and select New - all your options are in there

Hi GaRHaR, I did it but I must say that I am not very impressed by the result.
Once I rebooted I got worried because I got twice the black screen with the white line at the bottom, and the machine took almost 10 min.to turn on. I tried a second reboot and it was a bit better,3.14 minutes, just 1 minute less the time it used to take. I thank you very much for your help, maybe I am expecting too much. thomas |

no problems
What are the actual specs of the computer, and i'll see if there's much more you can expect from the bootup time?
