Win 7 Slow Startup - 4 mins

Installing heaps of new software on a new machine will do that. Is this the case?

notsograymatter:
Thanks - so to be clear, I can go into the service tab and uncheck 1/2 of those service and reboot.

Can these services be checked and unchecked at any time to run this diagnosis?

hubris:
No - not really, office applications and normal day to day stuff.

Thanks for the input

Simon

A month old computer doing this is really odd. If there is any possibility of this being a hardware issue then would it be sensible perhaps to return to Dell. esp given that you have not installed any additional software since the factory install as shipped to you - which I read to be the case?

Just a couple of thoughts, do you have Antivirus running some sort of boot scan?
In the bios boot order is the harddrive first in the list? Often you find it has CD/DVD drive and USB first this can slow boot times.
Do you have a plan coloured desktop image? Sounds odd but changing desktop from solid colour to a picture knocks 30 seconds off the boot time.

My new Dell Studio 1558 is very slow to boot. When I first got it about a month ago it was fine, now it takes 3 - 4 mins to boot. After I get the log on password screen I see the blue welcome screen then it goes black for 1 - 2 mins. I see a mouse pointer and the mouse is active and can be moved with th touch pad. By comparason my desktop sits on this screen for about 3 seconds.


I have tried:

Disabling all the startup items on the startup tab in msconfig.exe - this improved the startup but ony by 20 - 30 seconds or so.

Looking in device manager - there are no yellow exclamation marks

Run in logging mode - results attached:

Is there anything in this that could point to problems?


What else can I try to pinpoint the problem
Thanks
Simon

Install CCleaner ,run it and hit the tools(spanner/wrench) box,then start up box and see what starts on boot up ,disable what you dont need,i only have start up which is my GPU Monitorand MSSE(Apart from requred programs)
What antivirus do you Use??

Thanks, installed CC cleaner - the screen you suggest is the same as the startup tab on msconfig.

I have ran it - disabled some stuff but no real change.

I am using Mcafee that came with the laptop. There is no boot scan that I can find.

The HDD is listed first in the BIOS and I have a photograph as my desktop.

Thanks, Simon
