PC: Eee PC 900HA
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
Disk: G.Skill Falcon 64GB SSD
So, long story short, I reformated my Eee PC because I couldn't run WEI after the first time. Boot times were great (a bar and a half at the 7 boot logo). However, I installed Daemon Tools Lite and this went up to 5 and a half bars while booting. I am speed obsessed. So, I uninstalled this software and boot times are the same. How can I fix this?
Since when does Windows 7 have a progress bar?
It's definetly there. I only get it because of a BIOS issue (looks exactly like the Vista loading screen) therefore I can't get the new boot screen. However, everything else is fine and working after this. However, the new fancy boot screen isn't my issue.

Any suggestions?
Have you tried using System Restore to go back to a state before you installed Daemon Tools?
Well, I wouldn't suggest turning off system restore. Instead, I would just configure it to use no more than 2-3% of your hard drive space. That would have probably saved you from this problem that you have here.
