run this command twice from an command prompt (cmd.exe) with adminrights: FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*8.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart" this should remove the IE8 files with the help of the command line. Make a backup first.

you're welcome Enjoy the Sp1

ok, install the new Intel driver and test it again.

check this KB article: You do not have the option of downloading Windows 7 SP1 when you use Windows Update to check for updates http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2498452/en-us Also try to download the Sp1 from the Downloadcenter and run it. If the Sp1 Installer fails to install the Sp1, 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 medoafire.com and post a link here.

Install the Sp1, run the optimization again and make a new trace and don't hit finish. Let Windows count down the 120s. give me the latest trace.

you now boot in 9s to the desktop. the end is not in the trace. have you interrupted the trace? The only thing I see is that the WRITING Cache of the HDDs is disabled. Is this done by the newer driver? Please also install the Sp1, you use a Win7 RTM with an old Security patch for the kernel: 7600.16481.x86fre.win7_gdr.091207-1941

hi, your Windows is no very fast. it boots in 14s to the desktop and is booted completely in 14.5 seconds. The IDE channel 0 enum causes the 2.5 seconds delay. - <phase name="bootStart" startTime="25" endTime="4845" duration="4820"> <pnpObject name="PCIIDE\IDEChannel\4+25242dfa+0+0" type="Device" activity="Enum" startTime="1996" endTime="4497" duration="2501" prePendTime="0" description="IDE Channel" friendlyName="ATA Channel 0" /> Which devices have you connected to the ATA Channel 0? André

install WPT on Vista/7 and copy the folder to XP and run the trace there.

yes, this was ok so. your boot is no much faster: timing bootDoneViaExplorer="25391" bootDoneViaPostBoot="36391" osLoaderDuration="1527" postBootDisturbance="1000" Windows boots in 25s to the desktop and is loaded in 26s (1s startup programs delay) completely. But the main issue still occurs: phase name="bootStart" startTime="34" endTime="15282" duration="15248"> <pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_1002+DEV_4393+SUBSYS_B0021458+REV_00\3+2b8e0b4b+0+88" type="Device" activity="[b]Enum[/b]" startTime="4811" endTime="14911" [b]duration="10100" [/b][i]prePendTime="10100"[/i] description="AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller" friendlyName="" /> the RAID controller still takes 10s to enum. I found this in the documentation about the prePendTime: so try a newer AMD Raid driver and if this doesn't fix it, contact the AMD support for an updated driver which does it faster.

sad news Accept my deep sympathy WPI can wait and is completely unimportant now.

this is the default 120 wait time of xbootmgr after you get to the desktop.

firefox, java, kmplayer and foobar use a lot of RAM. Please download RAMMap [1][2] and run it when you have the high Memory usage. Now save the data as a RMP file. Zip the RMP file and upload the zip to mediafire.com and post a link here.

ok, the first delay is here: interval name="PreSMSS" startTime="0" endTime="20665" duration="20665"> and I saw that this device takes too long to enumerate connected drives: pnpObject name="PCI\VEN_1002+DEV_4393+SUBSYS_B0021458+REV_00\3+2b8e0b4b+0+88" type="Device" activity="Enum" startTime="7380" endTime="17486" duration="10106" prePendTime="10106" description="AMD AHCI Compatible RAID Controller" friendlyName="" /> How many HDDs have you connected to the RAID controller? I can only see this in the trace sys config: AMD 2+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device the trace doesn't have all data. Run the normal trace from my other guide and add this to the command line: -postBootDelay 300 this traces 5 minutes (300 seconds) after the boot is finished. Upload the new traces, please.

<timing bootDoneViaExplorer="254314" bootDoneViaPostBoot="281214" Your Windows takes 254 seconds to boot to the desktop and 271 seconds to boot completely. <interval name="WinlogonInit" startTime="14322" endTime="248822" duration="234499"> The WinlogonInit takes too long. I saw that restoring the network connection takes most time: RestoringNetConnections: 22.643866982 (start) 248.484303871 (stop) I saw that the NFS driver has long delays. Do you connect NFS drives? Are they available? Connect the drivers after the boot with net use /permanent:NO from a cmd you start to avoid this hang.

you have a lot of tools at startup: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe" /s "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe" /c "C:\Program Files (x86)\Coretemp\Core Temp.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\RocketDock\RocketDock.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner v2.24 MSI Master Overclocking Arena 2009 edition\RivaTuner.exe" -T "C:\Users\Tony Ly\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\GPUMonitor[1].gadget\GPUMonitor.exe" and I can see that the AVG driver/service slows down the boot. Do you use the latest version?

upload the ETL file

your Windows boots ok. It takes 22s to boot to the desktop and 40s to boot completely. I can see that the AVG services take too long to start. is this the latest version? Also the longest delay is caused by the running tools at startup. This takes 18s. So reduce the number of of tools. If this still doesn't speedup Windows, upload the ETL file.

this must be something with the BIOS. the trace is ok,.

Sorry, the topic was deleted and the admin restored it. So some posts were lost. Sorry for overlooking it. Use this command: xperf /tti -i hibernate_BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER_1.etl -o summary_hibernation.xml -a suspend

you don't need this workaround. I can install the update. The installer doesn't block the installation on the Sp1

you need .net 4.0? I never seen this (I'm the user who replied to your Technet forum topic, too)

nice to hear this. @cluberti have you made the topic sticky?

were you able to find the cause of your issues?

You're welcome. If you have other Windows questions ask in the forum. The other users can help you, too

it looks so. Contact the manufacture of your motherboard, mayb they can fix it wit a BIOS update.
