OOPS! I got you wrong :mrgreen:

no i do not want that....

C

1. Disable unnecessary startup items using Msconfig.

2. In Msconfig, under the BOOT.INI tab, check the /NOGUIBOOT.

3. Disable hardware that you won't be using from the BIOS. In my case I've disabled the floppy drive because I never use it.

4. Change the first boot device to the hard disk. Whenever you need to use a live CD of any OS, change it to the CD/DVD drive.

All this doesn't necessarily guarantee that your problem will be solved but the time will be reduced a bit.

And BTW, if none of the above works, you may want to try opening your cabinet and cleaning the RAM with a soft paint brush.

I think it is done via rubber???

Paint brush is good enough, use disk defragmenting tool and see...

this only can decrease the gap..

with reference to msdn, i think, no other specific tweak is available to decrease the time.

Already mentioned^^

And P.S.- it helps, I tried it out for you

Repair Defrag ur registry also & compress it (or whatever)

I VE DONE DEFRAGMENTING THE REGISTRY,HARD DRIVE,
NO
T REDUCED
THEN I VE DONE THE NOGUI IN BOOT .INI
IT DOES NOT REDUCED THE TIME..

also cleaned the ram..
by the way i m using linux..
there it is all right.
so i think it is not an issue of ram

tell me what else i can try?

Before you try this, make sure that the 'Task Scheduler' service is set to 'Automatic startup'.

Try one thing, download Bootvis. Insall and run it. Now go to the Trace menu and click 'Next boot + driver delays' and click OK. The system will reboot. After the reboot is complete, Bootvis will start automatically and display the results. Now go to Trace->Optimize system and let it reboot again. After Bootvis has done its job, the problem should be sorted out.

@subhadip- Try our other suggestions as well.

i ve tried boot vis already...
but not tried the task scheduler..
tell me more about it please

C

Go to Start> Run> services.msc
You get a windows showing all the services. Here, navigate to the Task Scheduler service. Double click on it. Change the "Startup type" to "Automatic. Click OK and then exit. After this try Bootvis.

oh..
ya .. that is automatic

i ve already tried bootvis
it does not reduced the latency period

Try this program

Tune Up utilities 2008

i am using Tune up utilities 2008.. it is an excellent utitilies.

But, it does not help to reduce the time between boot screen and logon screen..
actually it has added 2-4 more seconds to display logon screen..
I think. there is actually no tweak to reduce times between the boot screen and logoin screen except to select /NOGUIBOOT SWITCH IN EDITING BOOT INI FILE.

If still your problem is not solved than format

well thank u guys for the help.

tune up 2007 helped me
also there is a probem of grub of linux which was installeed.
i do not have to format it...
