the fastest AMD Athlon XP is 3400+ and so you want see any real improvement compared to the 3000+. Buy a new motherboard+cpu+ram (Intel i3 2100, mainboard with H61/H67 chipset + 4GB DDR3 RAM maybe a better PSU) and use the older parts of the old PC.

can you copy the error message to bing/google translator and translate them to English?

can you run the xperf commands and upload the ETL?

which sound chip do you use? Post some data about your PC specs.

acpi.sys maybe power saving settings. Try to set the power plan to "high performance" and update the BIOS.

I found this in the MS answers forum. Try it.

yeah an Intel 2100 + H61 is also fine. Low power consumption + good speed.

I didn't had issues with Vista RTM on older Hardware (AMD Athlon XP and AMD Athlon 64 + 1/2GB RAM and IDE HDD. Vista boots in 35-40s and performs fine). The issues were unrealistic expectations, bad nVIDIA drivers and people didn't want to learn new things (like UAC). For me XP RTM in 2001 was the worst OS I ever used. Buggy and unstable as hell. But most Vista bashers never used XP RTM.

Vista was never a mistake. It is today the best operating system. In WIndows7 MS removed too much components and features. Especially the Windows Explorer issue (no chance to disable autoarrange and not to remember individual folder window sizes and positions) are terrible. You should reinstall the Vista with a clean Sp2 DVD and you have a great OS.

Remove the WPT 4.6 and install version 4.8 from the Windows SDK for Windows 7 ad .Net Framework 4.0 and try it again.

You can use Universal Extractor to extract the 32Bit MSI and copy the extracted files to the XP system (only xperf.exe and perfctrl.dll are required to make a trace).

updates from yesterdays patchday? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-oct

install the 3 hotfixes from here: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=152622 reboot and try again.

install the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) and select the "Windows Performance Toolkit". Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Windows Performance Toolkit, run WPRUI.exe, select under "more options" VAlloc Usage and Network IO Activity and click on Start. After tracing this for a while stop and save the trace. Compress the ETL + the corresponding NGENPDB folder as 7z and upload the 7z file.

the trace was not successful. You only gave me the 2 temporary files. They are useless on my PC. Run the command with the -postBootDelay 300 parameter and let the countdown tick to 0 and don't press finish to interrupt this. Start the service MMC snapin (services.msc) look for "Windows Presentation Foundation-Fontcache 3.0.0.0", double click it and set the start type to disabled. The service is only needed for WPF apps, but most tools don't use this.

why do you want to buy such an old CPU and a new board? Instead I would buy an AMD Socket Am3+ Motherboard (AMD 9xx chipset) + AMD Phenom II X4/X6 which is cheaper and better.

I checked the packages of the HomeBasic and it includes the Hyper-V guest components: Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385 Microsoft-Hyper-V-Common-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514 Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Integration-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7600.16385 Microsoft-Hyper-V-Guest-Integration-Drivers-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.7601.17514

change the "Command Rate" in the BIOS to 2 and you can use the RAM with 533MHz. Set the timing to 7-7-7-20-27 and it should work.

SPD ( Serial presence detect) = a part on the memory which makes it possible for the computer to know what memory is present, and what timings to use to access the memory. Run CPU-Z and post a picture of the SPD tab for all modules and a picture of the Memory tab.

the Hyper-V drivers are already part of Windows 7. So you don't need them. Or do I miss something? I must say I use VMWare Player and VirtualBox most of the time. Hyper-V has performance issues in the guests. The UI and the mouse in the guests is always slow.

the ETL is compatible. You can copy it to Win7 and run the viewer. But Windows XP doesn't support the stackwalk option. So we can't see which USB function is the cause.

xbootmgr shows why boot is slow, but not why boot failed. the trace is still incomplete, but I can see that Avast is terrible slow (29s to start the service). primvirlaux hat the same slowdown with Avast. Do you use a Beta version? I can't information about version 6.0.1325 only 6.0.1289. Remove Avast and try other alternatives. Also set the FontCache3.0.0.0 service to "on demand" because this service causes 5s hang of the boot (you can see this in the picture, too). Do you need the Yota Access Service (Modems) service? if not, disable the service, too. this one takes 3s to start. The largest delay is caused by the Windows Search service. How large is your index? Try to rebuild the index and remove folders from the index. What I can also see is a not correctly trained Prefetcher (you see a lot of cache misses (black)): Run the optimization I linked in the first post. After doing the steps your Windows runs much faster. ok, I thought the same, but I can't prove this idea. controllers (IDE, SATA, SCSI) and their drivers can often cause crashes and failures. Nice to hear that you figured this out. Maybe other users read this too and find the cause of their issue

Keyboard and Speakers. My keyboard is also 11 years now and still works. And speakers can work for a long time. The rest can die earlier. I had CPU, RAM, HDD, PSU, CD drive failures.

the shutdown is slow because you enabled the option to clear the pagefile at shutdown. <interval name="ZeroHiberFile" startTime="19593" endTime="48958" duration="29365" /> Change the data value of the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value in the following registry key to 0 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management The boot trace is incomplete. Add -postBootDelay 300 to the command line of the boot trace. This captures 500s after boot. Compress the ETL as 7z (ULTRA, LZMA2) and upload it.
