    If it works now don't do anything. leave it and be happy.
  2. MagicAndre1981
    but GRUB is GPL and so the key must be made public and malware can use it, too. So secure boot is useless.
  3. MagicAndre1981
    and? is Avira better or do you still have a delay?
  4. MagicAndre1981
    delete both drives in device manager and reboot. Windows installs the drivers again. Windows switches to PIO mode if there are error when using DMA.
  5. MagicAndre1981
    all other defrag tools are crap and SLOW down Windows! Test other AV tools. For me MSE is also slow. Try Avira AntiVir as a free AV.
  6. MagicAndre1981
    yes, DISM works, it internally calls the pkgmgr from the Vista Image. This works since Vista Sp1. Look at the WAIK help.
  7. MagicAndre1981
    yes it is caused by the USBport driver: USBPORT.SYS!USBPORT_InterruptService Which USB devices do you use? Can you run msinfo32.exe, save the report and upload it? I need some system details which are not in the trace if you use Windows XP. On >=Vista I can see the used devices from the trace.

    upload the zip file to mediafire.com and post the link here.
  9. MagicAndre1981
    please run the xperf trace for 60s and upload the compressed DPC_Interrupt.etl
  10. MagicAndre1981
    zip and uplaod the trace.

    remove it, too. it is only crap. No Windows needs a maintenance tool. Windows has it included. It defrags the HDD if the PC is idle. I run the disk cleanup tool once per week with the task scheduler to delete my temp files. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253597 That's all you need. when you start the cmd.exe with admin rights, the current patch is C:\Windows\system32. So you must do what SonofNun told you to go C:\temp. I already replied to the Speedup topic.

    ataport is the IDE driver. Do you run your IDE DVD drives or HDDs in PIO mode for example?

    Hi Richard, It improved the boot a lot! before the optimization your Windows booted in 117s to the desktop and now in 25s!!! Open the bootPrep_BASE+CSWITCH_1.etl and look at the ReadyBoot graph. All was black. Totally broken! The optimization improved it a lot. After the optimization the start of some services is still slow: In your case Avast! AV which takes 33s to start. avast! Antivirus" group="ShellSvcGroup" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="33906" and the this Autodesk service: ="Autodesk Content Service" group="" transition="start" totalTransitionTimeDelta="15232" So try a different AV tool and look if you need the Autodesk service.

    @SonofNun Windows takes 25s to boot to the desktop and 60s to boot completely. Most time is no spend by running all startup apps. So the only chance to speed the boot more up is to disable the tools you run at startup. @AllanFreelancer have you removed all the snakeoil tools? Do this and let the PC idle for some time. Windows runs defrag it's own. After 2 days try again to make a trace.
  15. MagicAndre1981
    DISM works with Vista >=Sp1 Images, not Vista RTM.
  16. MagicAndre1981
    zip and upload the latest ETL.
  17. MagicAndre1981
    ignore it. With xperf 4.8 you have a graph "boot phase" When is the boot finished? Is it better compared to the old trace at the beginning?
  18. MagicAndre1981
    @allan set the pagefile on C:, not D: @SonofNun xperf lost some data. This happens if the HDD is very busy. Click ok and look at the disk graph. It should be near to 100% most of the time.
  19. MagicAndre1981
    Do the same like I advised to SonofNun. Set thepagefile size manually (to a fixed size) and try again.
  20. MagicAndre1981
    update the DivX version or disable the thumbnail preview generation in the Explorer options.

    Hyper-V sucks. The guest perf is terrible and a lot of users can't use it because of the SLAT requirement if they use Intel CPUs becasue only the Intel i Core CPUs support it. Also the mouse pointer lags extremely. There is still no WDDM guest driver. They use the software rendering driver from Windows 8. VMWare Player 4 wins on the desktop!!!! VHD and ISO mounting is bad, because you can specifiy a fixed driver letter and there is no automount feature. Some software require a reboot and next drive is gone and install fails. Explroer sucks completely because of vertical space wasting. The ribbons is too large. Look at the blog entry and you can see that most users have 768 or 800 vertical pixels. so the ribbons waste to much space and the QAT only allows 6 commands to be added I'll skip "Windows Telebubby" completely. This large compromise of mixing Desktop and tablet UI into 1 Windows is terrible to use. I now installed Ubuntu 11.10 and played a bit with it. I like it much better compared to the new Teletubby Windows. I'll only use the new tools (ADK, WPT) with Vista Sp2 and Win7 Images.

    try to set the pagefile size your own. Set a value of RAM size + 300MB for start and end size so that the size never changes.
  23. MagicAndre1981
    I have no real idea. Contact the ASUS support and inform them about the temperature and throttle issue. Also google a bit more and read what other users did.
  24. MagicAndre1981
    I've never seen this, but google a bit: https://encrypted.google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=System+restore+0x80042302&pbx=1&oq=System+restore+0x80042302&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=223603l226356l3l226596l15l15l0l0l0l12l427l4133l0.3.4.6.1l14l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=a5a28ec1f8a9e30a&biw=1673&bih=903 @Allan I mean the space assigned by the computer protection. What is the size? @both of you what are your pagefile setting? Do you let Windows configure the size?

    How large is your System restore used space for drive C:? 1 hotfix should fix issues when the there are too many system restore points. Maybe you still use too many points.
