yes, cluberti is right. Putting the VM disk files on a second HDD improves performance a lot. for the motherboard get one with an AMD 900 chipset and AM3+ socket to have the chance to upgrade to the AMD Bulldozer CPUs which will be released later this year.

use an AMD Phenom X6 (6 Core CPU) with 8 or 16GB DDR3 RAM, this is cheaper compared to an Intel CPU. Both new CPUs (AMD Phenom, Intel i Core CPUs) implement the nested paging (AMD-V and Intel VT) for better VM performance.

with 'not found in the cache' I mean that the Prefetcher preloaded the wrong data in the cache/RAM, so the data must be read from the disk at the time they are needed. The idea of the prefetcher is to load the data at a time where the CPU starts devices, drivers and can't continue to boot. Instead of 'sitting there and doing nothing' a lot of data are read to the ReadyBoot cache which are needed later to start services or applications. The better the prefetcher works, the faster the boot is. You can see this in the 90s improvement.

do you mean an Inplace upgrade to repair Windows?

have you installed the wpt_x64.msi from the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\bin?

the misses mean, that the required data were not found in the ReadyBoot cache and must be loaded from the HDD which slows down the boot process. Run this FixIt first: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976 and next change the type in the BIOS to AHCI. Now run the optimization and tell me the results.

look here for themes: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/ install UxStyle first, to avoid patching the Uxtheme DLLs.

to see the cause of Windows 7 update failures, we must look for error messages in the following log files: Please run the Windows Explorer and go to the folder "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\" and copy all files to your document folder, also copy the setupapi.dev.log from the folder C:\Windows\Inf, the "C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log" and the file "C:\Windows\winsxs\poqexec.log" to your document folder (otherwise you can't upload it), zip all files into 1 ZIP and upload the zip to mediafire.com and post a link here.

PreSMSS takes 19s, this is a bit too slow: interval name="PreSMSS" startTime="0" endTime="19012" duration="19012"> if you look in the XML under the PNP node you can see that enumerating the connected drives to the IDE channels takes some time. Do you run the HDDs (WD5000ABYS-01TNA0, SAMSUNG HD501LJ) in AHCI or IDE mode? The SMSSInit takes 18s: <interval name="SMSSInit" startTime="19012" endTime="37052" duration="18039"> Here the Initialization of the Registry takes 6s. interval name="WinlogonInit" startTime="37052" endTime="56186" duration="19134"> WinlogonInit takes 19s and here is the loading of the user profile slow with 4.5s. Next, loading the NOD32 Service takes 20s and the loading of the SeaPort service takes 8.8. Update NOD32 from 4.0.474.0 to 4.2.71.2. Next, the Explorer loading and the start of all applications at startup takes over 100s because the HDD is completely busy during that time and this slows down the boot a lot. I can also see that the ReadyBoot prefetcher generates a lot of misses during that time. So, improve the boot speed by training the prefetcher which I wrote in this guide: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=140262

During the last months Microsoft released several hotfixes to improve the startup time of Windows 7: KB2510636 - An update that improves the startup performance of Windows 7 and of Windows Server 2008 R2 is available KB2555428 - The Windows 7 startup process is slow when you create many restore points KB2505454 - The startup process is delayed on a computer that has a large hard disk installed and is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 So if you have one of those issues which slows down Windows boot, install the hotfixes.

SATA or IDE DVD drive? Which chipset do you use? Does Windows know the chipset and provide drivers?

Orjan Nilsen - In My Opinion (Album)

any news? does it still occur or not?

check this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en generate the sfcdetails txt file and look which files can't be restored.

And leave Superfetch/prefetch always on if you use a traditional HDD. If you use a SSD, disable both (if not done by Windows).

Install the Windows System State Analyzer from Microsoft, make a pre-Install Snapshot, next run the Setup and create a post-Install Snapshot and compare them.

14.0.4734.1000 = RTM Escrow Build. The final/RTM is 14.0.4763. Where did you get this build?

RegsShot 2.0.1.70 or Windows System State Analyzer (MSFT)

Disable all other addons 1 followed by the other and check if the usage is gone. the presentationfontcache.exe is used by WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) apps. Stop the service and delete the file C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache3.0.0.0.dat if you use .net 3.5 or C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache4.0.0.0.dat if you use .net 4.0.

hi, the new trace shows me that the Windows Explorer causes a lot of CPU usage. I can see that the Explorer extracts Icons to get the thumpnails. I looked and saw that the gameux.dll is involved. This is the game explorer of Windows. I think the game explorer tries to look for updates and displays the icons. This causes the CPU usage. You can try to use ShellExView to disable 3rd party Shell extensions. Look if this improves the performance.

[OT]you don't help if you post things twice if they are already fixed. So please read the older posts, too. I'm getting email notfications for all replies. So if you post over and over agaon things which are already solved I get a lot of useless notifications[/OT]

he already fixed the issue. Please read before posting

the software works for both, Vista (Server 2008) and Windows 7 (Server 2008 R2).

-1 measn the data are not in the file. By default xperf traces 120 seconds after the desktop was loaded. Add -postBootDelay 240 to the command line
