I have a Toshiba R700 with the solid state drive running Win 7 Professional. I ran xbootmgr -trace boot -traceflags base+cswitch+drivers+power -resultpath c:\RESULTS (a folder I'd created in advance) System rebooted, I logged in, and instead of splash screen I got BSOD! Have tried it twice now after recovering in Safe Mode and terminating the xbootmgr command. I did a BIOS update today, but haven't tried to run it again. The prior BIOS was from May 2010 so still not very old. Also, the laptop was in a docking station/port replicator with external VGA monitor, bluetooth keyboard, external speakers - basically the way I have it set up when I use it. I assume that would be the way you'd want the trace to run so it reflected the setup being used on a regular basis. I had managed to successfully run a trace using the same command a few days ago, but I had the latop sitting stand alone with just the power cord plugged in and no internet cable connected. It's a company computer and has PGP Disk Encryption installed, so the first thing that comes up when I power on is the PGP login screen. From the time I enter the password to get to the desktop was about 2 minutes. I shut off some services and changed some IE settings and the boot time for the same period came down to just over 1 minute. Wanted to run another trace, but ran into the BSOD issue. I will try running again with the BIOS update and see if that does anything to fix it. As I tell the guys at work, I only play a techie on TV, but not afraid to jump in and learn. Thanks for any tips or help.
