slow boot with XP--not spyware?

Please help.

I have a 2003 Gateway computer (pentium (R) CPU, 2.53 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 75 GB with about 8 GB used) which uses XP as its operating system. When my husband and I bought the computer last year, boot up was really fast. Now, however, it takes almost 2 minutes to bring up the desktop screen. We don't use the computer for much except email, digital pictures, word processing, and the internet, so we don't have a lot of fancy stuff (i.e. gaming and the like) going on.

I have tried everything I know to "fix" this problem. I ran spybot and ad-aware (they found a few spyware programs, but removing these entries did not really do anything to help boot time.

I also ran msconfig and, using some helpful windows websites, disabled some programs at startup that we don't use to help streamline things. This also did not seem to help very much.

I have done a disc cleanup, disc scan, and a disc defrag without any result. I also ran Norton AV (after doing a live update). It did not find anything unusual.

I suppose, if all else fails, we can live with the 2 minute boot, but I remember that this computer used to boot up within 15-20 seconds. I am curious as to why things have declined. I am worried that things will get worse.

I ran hijackthis.exe, and here is what it said:

Any assistance that you could provide would be most helpful and appreciated. I don't know what else to do (save wipe the harddrive clean and start over). Please advise. I have run out of things to try.

Hello,

Go to C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch and delete its content. Reboot.

Run Bootvis (d/l http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664) Follow the procecedure. If it does not improve the boot time, at least you may analyse the log and see what is slowing down the boot.

Regards,

 

puffgirl;

Slow bootups are usually cause by a failed device driver load, failed software load, or failed network communications. They are also caused by an accumulation of junk over time. These problems are easy to resolve.

Lets start at level one, and work our way up:

Have you checked the Event Viewer and looked at the System Log, and the Application Log? Are there any red Error icons, or yellow Warning icons?

Have you checked the Device Manager for any failed devices? Make sure that you select "Show hidden devices" in the View menu. Look for icons that have yellow exclamation points, or red X's.

The failed network communications are a little tougher to track down, so we will save this for later.

delete all junk files, clean your registry, defrag your drive, then use tunexp's ultra fast booting....

tools you can use: tune-up utilities 2004, jv16 powertools, window washer, driverheaven's tunexp, etc...

 

I would not use Bootvis to diddle the system, have read too many posts (at other forums) about Bootvis on it's own making things worse. For analyzing, its great. I also was under the impression that MS pulled Bootvis as a download because of the problems caused when used for more than analysis.

As far as the slow system - one big factor IMO is Symantec, just gobbles up the system. I counted 7 Symantec processes.

Regards - Charles

 

I recommend Bootvis as well. When Bootvis first reboots your system, it will do its work when Windows loads. Let it run (it may take 1-2 minutes). It is not something you need to run every day, but the speedup has always been noticeable for me. I would also use a registry optimizer/defragmenter like NTREGOPT. If you're comfortable with the Services control panel, you could follow Black Viper's Guide to stop services you don't need.

Have you added DSL or cable internet lately. Some xp computers will not assign an ip address with DSL or Cable and the computer hunts for an ip address on boot and it will not completely boot up until xp eventually assigns a default ip for that boot session. On my computer the only cure to the slow boot was when I installed a router. The router assigned an IP address and now it boots in seconds instead of minutes. This may not be your problem but it is a known problem with windows xp but only on some computers.

Hello again.

I tried bootvis, and it helped a little. But my boot time is still over a minute. I have a modum (not DSL or cable), so I don't think that is the problem. The screen seems to get hung up at the Windows XP page (the little bar that scrolls across the screen actually slows down during boot up).

I went home last night and looked into my event viewer and device manager tools to help diagnose the problem, as you suggested. I didn't find any warnings or errors in the device manager (would they be obvious like they are in the event viewer?), but I did find quite a few in the event viewer.

I don't know how to make sense of what all of these errors mean, how to fix them, or how they might relate to my problem of a slow boot. Any help or advice you can give would be most appreciated.

Here is a list of what I found (each error/warning appeared multiple times):

Thanks so much, in advance,
Elva

 

PuffGirl;

Thanks for posting the application errors. I am still reviewing them. I do have a quick question. Please use Internet Explorer and go to:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

After the web page loads, please confirm that the web sites address starts with:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Specifically, what I am looking for is the v4. I noticed in your log file that the WindowsUpdate error mentions v3. I just want to confirm which version of WindowsUpdate you are using.

If it does come up as v3, please go ahead and click on the v4 link above and update your system.

Close Hauled

 

Also use botvis as an analytical tool.

Follow the instructions in the Help on how to do this.

There are categories for the OS - Drivers - Software. Each category will be timed and post here. This at least will narrow down what the holdup is.

Regards - Charles

 

Thank you, Close Hauled and everyone for all of your help. I will check on the version of windows that I have as soon as I get home and let you know. I will also check the boot vis log and see where it says that the hang up is. Please don't give up on me. I really don't know that much about PCs (having had a Mac for most of my adult life). I really want to be able to put things right, if I can.

The good thing to come out of this bad situation is that I am learning more about my PC (and how it works). I have already improved my computer's security settings using the tips and advice on this site. I am not sure if I mentioned this or not, but my computer (save the slow boot up) seems to be working fine, as far as I can tell.

Thanks again for taking the time to review all the details so carefully. I really appreciate it. I will be checking back soon.

Best,
Elva

 

PuffGirl;

The above quoted error can be fixed. After you have done what I mentioned above, please follow the instructions in this site:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319590

I am still reviewing the rest of your logs. The goal is to eliminate all of the errors that regularly occur.

Hello everyone.

I disabled windows messenger to fix the system error 4354 using the instructions provided in the link (I don't use messenger anyway.) I didn't want to download anymore software, but I can download the update, if you think this would be better.

Also, the version of windows I am using is version 4. I don't know why it said v.3 (perhaps before the update?).

Also, I noticed more of a slow down in boot up after I had to remove the worm that was circulating through the internet last year (Sasser?). This computer had the worm, and although I was able to remove it, things seemed to get progressively slower after that. I think that was last summer/fall sometime, but I can't remember. I remember that I had to disable system restore as part of the cleansing process, so hopefully I didn't do any damage to my machine. Just a thought.

Also ,my husband I noticed even more of a slow down (at boot up) when we loaded the HP DVD writer onto this computer. We have since removed this program, as the writer itself was only on loan to us. I defragged the drive after removing this program (big memory hog), but it didn't seem to restore us to where we were before.

Again, I appreciate all your help and your time in helping me sort this out. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do. I will keep checking the boards for your advice.

Best,
Elva

 

PuffGirl;

Did your husband remove all of the software associated with the HP DVD burner? If not, look in "Add or Remove Programs" control panel for any software associated with it and remove it.

Do you have an Intel network card. Do you know the and model of it?

Finally, could you please find and run these two programs:

DXDiag.exe
MSInfo32.exe

The first is the DirectX diagnostics utility. The second is the System Information utility.

DXDiag should be in:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

MSInfo32 should be in:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSINFO

Please run all of the tests in DXDiag and export the information to DxDiag.TXT by clicking on the "Save All information..." button.

Then run MSInfo32 and select "Export..." from the File menu. Export the information to a text file and call it "System Information.txt".

Please e-mail those two files to me. They will tell me what your system has for hardware, and whether or not your drivers are up to date.

Close Hauled

 

Thank you.

I will find and run both of these programs when I get home. I ended up downloading the update to messenger to get rid of error 4354 (disabling it did not remove the error, but downloading the messenger update did). Also, I no longer have trouble with the DCOM error, as I used the DCOMbobulator service to turn of DCOM on my machine (found the link on this forum). I couldn't figure out how to fix the 7203 error (the 7204 error went away it seems). The microsoft website said a fix was available, but it was not clear to me how to obtain this fix.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7023
Description: The Application Management Service terminated with the following error: The specified module could not be found.

I also tried to fix the crypt32 error.

Event Type: Error

To resolve the error, I turned off the update root certificates component, according to the microsoft help page.

I believe I removed all the rest of the HP DVD software, but I will check again when I get home.

Thanks again for your advice. I will send you the files and keep checking back here.

Best,
Elva

 

One more thing...I ran bootvis to determine where the lag is...and this is what I found (on a horizontal timeline from 0-76 seconds)

disk: 0-2s
drivers: 3-10s
registry+pa: 11-21s
video: 22-25s
server+logon: 29-76s
shell: 42-57s

The vertical line on this timeline (drawn in by bootvis program) was shown at 57 seconds. Also, I noticed that when I first run bootvis (trace) after emptying the prefetch folder, that the bootup is pretty quick. However, when I optimize and reboot, the bootup slows down markedly. The boot seems to get hung up on the windows screen (bar slows down and almost stops during boot). In addition, there is a quite a bit of time spent on the black screen (after the windows screen disappears, but before the welcome (desktop) screen appears). Don't know what any of this means (if anything), just thought it might help with the diagnosis of where the problem might be.

I will check on the make and model of intel card, too. I am ashamed to say that I couldn't tell you if I even have one of those.

Best,
Elva

 

Ronjor;

Thanks. I asked her not to install anything for now until we get to the root of her problem. In this case though, Belarc can be an exception.

PuffGirl;

If you want, you can install Belarc. Belarc will analyze your system and generate a report in HTML format. You can e-mail that HTML file to me.

Hello again,

No trace of HP DVD program remains in the add/remove programs panel.

I ran DXDiag.exe and MSInfo32.exe, as Close Hauled suggested, and I downloaded Belarc as Ronjor suggested. When I ran DxDiag the first time, it said that it may have had trouble loading Direct 3D the last time (I don't know what it means by last time since I have never loaded it to my knowledge)...I saw the test pictures just fine, but there was a lag when the bouncing box finally appeared on the full screen test.

Belarc lists my Intel processor as

2.53 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache

Doesn't mean a whole lot to me. I hope all of this means something to somebody out there.

I will keep checking back for more things to try. I appreciate whatever advice you can offer, as I have gotten just about as far as I can go on my own.

Thanks so much, in advance,
Elva

Hello Blackspear,

You are right. Belarc did give me more data than I posted. I only mentioned the processor specificially in the post because that was a direct question that I got. I sent the html file to Close Hauled (who specifically requested it), but I will post the results here, too. (I am sorry that I didn't post the log outright, but I didn't know if anyone would be interested in seeing it.) I will certainly post the results of the Belarc download when I get home. I hope that it will mean something to somebody out there because I still haven't been able to figure out why my computer is slow during boot up.

Thanks so much for your interest. I will keep checking back here for advice and things to try.

Best,
Elva

 

No!!! Do not post the Belarc file. It has personal information in it. That is why I had you mail it to me.

Close Hauled

 

Yes, and I missed that one, all fixed now though

Cheers
