Windows Vista: Windows Vista is slow booting up
Windows Vista is slow booting up
by cd50378 - 2/11/08 11:11 AMI have a brand new Compaq laptop with Vista & it is slow booting up. I read on the forum that you can disable "server" thru msconfig & that speeds it up but does disabling server cause any problems? What does the program "server" do and do I need it running? I am used to my 4 year old XP desktop, which boots up so much quicker. I don't think I like Vista. Thanks.

Scroll down to Server and click on it.

Maybe this will not help if you are not using ZoneAlarm but has been my experience.

Once it loads a language window will appear, next, then a scan runs, next, then on this screen in the lower left corner, click, repair options, next, choose start up repair, click enter. Your done.
If you do this by loading the OS installation disk within the OS after log on, this option is not available, the installation disk must be installed at the BIOS screen.
No installation disk? Then get one from your computer manufacturer. These can usually be acquired for the cost of shipping and handling.
it could be an inexpensive notebook
by alice_b0wie - 2/16/08 6:27 AM In reply to: Windows Vista is slow booting up by cd50378i've worked on several compaq notebooks with vista. most are no more than a month or two old. if you haven't put anything on it yet, reinstall vista. but i think it's the inexpensive nootbooks that are the problem and not vista.
