Like I said, I use it for memory leak applications only. MemClean prevents FS2004 from crashing due to the lack of available physical memory because of the amount of memory leaks the game have. Do you have a suggestion for doing these tasks automatically (replacing TuneUp)? Like i said before, I don't need a software to improve my performance or anything (I do all my configuration myself), but II do need one to do these simple tasks of cleaning my PC. As for ngen install, it did work for both CCC.exe and MOM.exe, but i get this error with CLIStart.exe: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319>ngen install "C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static\CLIStart.exe" Microsoft ® CLR Native Image Generator - Version 4.0.30319.1 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation.

(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131700). Failed to load the runtime. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131700) And yes, Catalyst is one of the worst softwares i had laid my eye upon, i know it. I do need it for some stuff though.

http://www.koshyjohn.com/software/memclean/ I use it to manage my RAM usage in applications known to have heavy memory leaks *cough*Flight Simulator*cough*. It's a good freeware tool. When the application doesn't have memory leaks, I simply disable the RAM cleaning. As for the tasks, I'll have to disagree. I lost count of how many applications i had to hunt down registry keys and AppData config because their weak uninstaller did not uninstall these. I had an application crashing even after reinstalling, and found out it was the AppData config that wasn't deleted and was causing the crash. As I said, this is a gaming PC. I constantly install/uninstall/reinstall games/mods/tools. Leaving their leftovers because the uninstaller didn't do its job isn't such a great idea.

Any reason for not using TuneUp? I only use it for weekly maintenance in my gaming PC, such as deleting broken shortcuts, cleaning the registry, etc. I generally don't use this kind of software, as you can see I don't have an anti virus installed. However, I don't have enough time to do those tasks manually anymore, and yes, I'm willing to waste a bit of boot time and RAM for this. Most of my work is done through my Linux desktop, this desktop is for gaming only. Thus very few applications are installed. By ngen do you mean ngen from .NET Framework? And if yes what's correct command line for CCC?

Alright then. http://www.mediafire.com/?mbz2uni7lrsc5k7

I'll assume you found no other problems then. A huge thank you for your help. Now i can boot my system without needing to eat breakfast first.

Disabling it was never the problem, uninstalling it was. Also, I disabled the chip in my BIOS to avoid it delaying the BIOS post (and with incorrect information about my HDD). It does however, not recognize my DVD-RW since the Marvell IDE Controller is not enabled. I rarely use it anyway, not worth having that huge delay for using it once every 6 months, if I need it I'll just re-enable in the BIOS. Anyway here is the newest log. I did check it and it was reduced to around 34s for a full boot, and the Marvell RAID Controller wasn't listed. If you could take another look, i would appreciate it. 02_summary_end.xml

While I disabled the Marvell Controller in my BIOS, Windows will simply not let me uninstall it. The device is not even listed in my Device Manager list anymore, and if I try to uninstall by using the Marvell uninstaller or by using the Device Manager (Enabling the Marvell Controller again), Windows will not boot and will run a repair session where the driver is restored. This driver was not even installed when I installed Windows, why the hell is it bitching about a driver no longer being used? The driver in question is mv61xx.sys on system32.

Alright, I did what you said and disabled it. It was still being listed in the log, should i run the xbootmgr again?

I did install the lastest Marvell driver when I installed this Windows. However, I don't use RAID (only one HDD). Should I just disable it? Also, the startup programs are all necessary for me at the startup, alas I need to deal with this 10s delay.

Could you take a look at my log? I saw the improvement but a full 45s seems long enough compared to my 32-bits, same softwares loading at the startup. Thank you. 01_summary_start.xml 02_summary_end.xml
