h*tp://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/platform/performance/fastboot/default.asp
The design goals for Windows XP on a typical consumer PC are:
Boot to a useable state in a total of 30 seconds
Resume from Hibernate (S4) in a total of 20 seconds
Resume from Standby (S3) in a total of 5 seconds
My Usable state is accomplished in 5 seconds, far from 30.
Anyway thats a tip for anyone who has slow boot up.

have you packed your HDD up with software?
I've noticed when I packed it up to at least below half its capacity (i have a seagate 30gig -> 14.9gig) it takes a bit longer then usual to process data, if you have it packed up with stuff you dont need, remove some items..

Umm I saw that Fish tank screen save on a LCD screen, in a shop.. it looks mad on LCD hehe

Looks like i cant send you the Screen Saver anyway, you need to 'agree' to the EULA. I tried using it, wouldnt work. Sorry.

Are you referring to the Thumbnail showing slowly?
I sometimes get thumbnails showing up slowly in a DIR full of images.

I started getting too many little problems that got annoying. When i'd connect to the net it wouldnt tell me what speed in the nice little pop-up.
Formatted today and edited the start button,progress bar and flashing taskbar buttons to blue. Looks much nicer i must say.

I know this may seem like a lame Thread/and or Question, But.. I was curious to know if anyone knows the history of Build 2600? Since alot of us use it.

yeah i did remove some components, cant rememeber which ones now. Forgot to back up the file as well, silly me
Dont really want to format the PC, guess i'll just live without my 'effects'.

It used to say "Suddenly Everything Clicks". I remembered just now

I think it would be obvious to the experienced Computer user. But to the newbie, they'd have no idea whatsoever.

I run build 2600, not one problem whatsoever.
no crashes, blue screens or any sluggish/lagged movement.
got it from Direct-Connect, usa_2600_x86pro_no_activation.iso

Dont think anyone mentioned it, If you dual-boot with a 9x system or ME, install 9x/ME first, because it will screw your XP boot info up the a**.

Like i said in another thread, takes me 5 seconds to boot up and READY in Administrator mode.
With Windows 2000 Microsoft recommended not to use Administrator accounts for everyday usage because of the simple fact if you get hacked you lose the whole system.
But... i found it really annoying to log in as admin to install a program, so i use Admin.

My Build 2600 Corporate edition boots up in 5 seconds.
My Girlfriends Windows 2000 takes around 1 minute.
i could be connected to the internet by the time she boots up,
when will she realise?0 -
With XP you get the Effects, which is in the display tab.
For some reason, I can press this button 2000 times and nothing will happen. Last thing I did before it happened was Changing the windows software list, unhiding it so you can remove some components.
Anyone have Ideas on how to get the effects back?
