It just took 15 minutes for my laptop to boot up

[TENCHI]

DOUBLE YOU TEE EFF!!!!!



no virus, running a dual core intel 1.6 with 2gb ram and vista....



shiet is slower than a vette driven by an 80 yo geriatric

[len56]

lmao

mine takes like 5 min, 2.0 ghz dual core 2 gig ram

i think it's just vista being grumpy??? I love it once it has started up though (vista). Always worked fine for me, crashed like 3 times in 2 years, so really not a problem. BUt the second I downloaded google chrome, IE started taking like 50 seconds to boot up. Jealously, lol

Need to take a look at the startup programs/processes

windows 7 takes 45 secs on my pc, and my mac takes like 35 or so. consider switching to either.

My windows 7 PC starts in under a minute. Costs under $500. My $2500 mac book pro is blah.

lol wassup with the mac fanboy bombardment. All you need to do is clean out your system tray and defragment it and its good as new.
My laptop took, 30mins to completely boot up before. YES fucking 30. Then I installed W7 and completely wiped out everything. Now it boots up in about a min.

Mac FTW!!!

[Gearcraft]

i have a 3 year old laptop that boots up in around 30 sec. i reformat it maybe twice a year and i disable unwanted programs that load up during start up in msconfig.

Check your msconfig startup tab as mentioned, then clean up your startup folder under programs, and then I would consider a disk cleanup and defrag.

And as for the Macs, meh. I own a Mac and PC and the Mac just isn't that great. Aside from graphic design I see little use for them personally. But that's me. I started in the computer world when I was a kid (early 90's) with Macs, then went to PC once I entered college and into the workforce (I do tech work for a living) and then just recently decided to go back to Mac. I won't do it again.

[deshields]

forget mac, just get an SSD harddrive, I dont care if you are running windows 95 with spyware and porn all over it, it will still bootup in like 20 seconds with an SSD drive. They are way cheaper then buying a mac too.
