Kained Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 On a friends machine vista takes forever to boot unless you go into bios first then it seems to halve the time any ideas?
Kained Posted May 29, 2007 Author Posted May 29, 2007 lol thanks for that anyone with a helpful solution?
sqdge Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Vista does have the low power state thing. It behaves more like a screensaver, so it's not technically "boot time" - but it will significantly shorten the time from black screen to exciting graphics. I've also found that disabling the sidebar can significantly reduce startup time.

My Linux PC has been able to do it for 3 years or so.
Pottsey Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Vista is made to be used with the new power state your not meant to turn the PC fully off. Unless your doing upgrades or not using it for weeks. The new power state should get you into the desktop in 5 to 10 seconds. (so about 30 on a school computer ) Its brilliant all I do is turn my monitor on and the PC is on the desktop in 5seconds. Strangely some days it takes double that time for no apparent reason.
