USB Mass Storage Device
by Blue-J - 2/11/07 2:00 PM In reply to: Slow Vista Boot by KiloBitUsing a hub? That's one. Using a PCI USB port add-in card? That's one. A flash drive, external drive (HDD or DVD+/-RW), even a digital camera with an SD or CF card is one. Your keyboard, if USB is an HID (Human Interface Device) analgous to one. So is a USB Mouse, depending what manafacture made it. Try a clean run using PS2 devices. My USB keyboard won't even work in XP if I don't do this, and install the driver a first time. On the other hand, the USB mouse never has that problem.
I tolerate the issue with the keyboard because I can't find another full-featured (10-key, email and internet buttons) desktop one that is so narrow side to side, it fits on the not-wide-enough pull-out keyboard drawer on my desk. See if a driver update exists for yours.
USB Drive is the issue
by tbrantigan - 2/13/07 3:42 AM In reply to: USB Mass Storage Device by Blue-JSimply unplugging my USB external backup drive change the boot up time from 10 minutes to 2 minutes.
USB Drive
by Jamborta - 2/16/07 12:41 PM In reply to: USB Drive is the issue by tbrantigani have the same problem, but you're right, if i disconnect the usb drive, it works fine. is there any other solution? having paid a lot for vista, this annoys me a lot. :S
It sucks 2 wait and why should u when u hav paid for it
by Surut - 8/25/07 7:46 AM In reply to: USB Drive is the issue by tbrantiganhey mite i think 10 min to 2mins is till too much(on a 1 GB ram Computer) ... i hate this new issue that u have to wait 2 mins to wait for vista to come online, or work on it, on the other hand in a 512MB ram computer the startup is very fast compared to it, is vista using a different boot method for 512 MB N 1GB n above computers... >???
I think vista is a failure
by communitynews - 2/13/07 6:37 AM In reply to: Vista slow Startup probelm by idzyn4u22I almost read and I crave for the VISTA ULTIMATE.
Maybe your problem is low memory
Disabling the sidebar worked for me
by bbrown45 - 2/18/07 10:51 AM In reply to: Vista slow Startup probelm by idzyn4u22Whoopee.. Thanks guys. I was unable to restart my brand new windows vista Dell without unplugging it and completely starting over. It is a wonder that the thing hasn't exploded with all the unplugging that has gone on. Dell seems to be unable to do anything to help. I finally saw something on this thread about disabling the sidebar and lo and behold it worked. I also cleaned up everything on the start menu that wasn't shipped with Vista or that I didn't know exactly what it was. Thanks again.. I am now able to restart quickly!
re: vista slow startup problem
by alanpachuau - 2/21/07 1:38 AM In reply to: Vista slow Startup probelm by idzyn4u22I think you need to put more physical RAM, and remove the unwanted startup programs from the startup list, then check if its working or not
15 minutes startup
by thurbohnek - 7/4/07 8:40 AM In reply to: Vista slow Startup probelm by idzyn4u22I have had the same problem ,and it took the computer about 15 minutes to even get in to vista. It was that vista didnt manage to "see" my other cd-driver. What i did was that i turned off the computer and took out the power cable of my other cd-driver and after that.. it only takes a minute to get in to windows.
Solution For Windows Vista Running slow
by Marty165 - 9/1/07 9:19 AM In reply to: 15 minutes startup by thurbohnekIt took me 15 hours and 2 of them with Microsoft to find the answer. Microsoft has created a program specifically foor Vista to basically debug it. It is called Live One Care. You can but a years subscription or use just the online scanner for free. If you use the free online scanner, then use the Vista only scanner (Beta Version) for best results.
The PC I had was taking over 30 minutes to boot. I had to rerun Live One Care 3 times (as it had crashed 2 previous times) and over 45 hours later, the PC is like new again. The PC I was working on was an extreme case where the owner continued to run this PC like this for 1 month (which compounded the problems on the PC).
Hope this helps
Same problem here but different.

Try this

Once Identified you'll need to contact your software vendor for a repair/patch/update, if available or wait for an update from Microsoft that may or may not come. None the less, report it.
To run a program in a previous OS version on Vista
by Dango517 - 9/13/07 12:24 AM In reply to: Try this by Dango517After identifying the incompatible program.
Start/help & support/"Get your program to work on this version of Windows"/">click to open the Program Compatibility Wizard"/Run the wizard
You can set Vista to run a program in XP, Me, 95 and a few others. I have used this function on three incompatible programs one is running well with no problems, a second has improved about 2/3rds and the third failed entirely. Programs that you "have not" specified will continue to run in the Vista version you have installed on your computer(s). Good luck! Please contact Microsoft if you have any questions about this function "before" using it.
This also maybe of some use to you
by Dango517 - 11/24/07 8:29 PM In reply to: Try this by Dango517Restart the system on the boot screen press and hold F8. When the next screen appears arrow down to debugging mode press enter. Run the system in this mode. Run it through the start up routine but also in other functions as well while using the OS. For example mail, video, games, anything and every thing. It debugs them all. Running this does have one down side to it. it runs slow while debugging. It need not be ran at all times, just occasionally. Good luck.
