Windows 7 - My start up is slow!

I've been running Windows 7 build 7000 since it came out, and I have never been too impressed by its boot time. I clocked how fast it boots yesterday and it took 1min 30. I've gone into my start up programs and disabled several of them, but my computer is still slow on start up. Got any ideas about how to speed it up.

P.s. i'm running a dell xps 1330 with 4gigs ram, a 220gig hard drive and 2.4ghz processor.

Hello Sammy7,

This tutorial is for Vista, but some things may apply/work in Seven.

Edit: I have seen some problems with registry defragers in seven.

People have reported from around 45 sec to 90 secs on average. My lap top with 7 7022 32 bit takes 35 secs to the log on screen and about another 10-15 secs to a fully loaded desktop. So your 90 secs doesn't really seem that long to me. My old vista used to take almost 3 mins to a working loaded desktop. Now that was indeed ridiculous! I am LOVING win 7.

What kind of RAM? brand and type.... dual channel works like a monster vs single chan for windows 7... In my experience 3gb of single runs slower than 2gb of dual. This OS craves dual chan memory IMO

Have a look at your 'services' and disable any you don't need, there are quite a few unnecessary ones in there

I put Windows 7 Ultimate x64 in my laptop MSI and starting windows is verry slow... like 2-10 minutes! What I can do?

I upgraded to windows 7 last week, I´m running on a HP desktop with 6Gb RAM, 8Ghz cpu and so on...it takes one minute to come to the log in, after that I have a "welcome" screen for like 30sec and after that the screen turns black in 90 sec...then it all starts all of a sudden.
That doesnt fit with me...something must be wrong.

And...yes I have updated several things, virusprogram, graphic drivers, I have moved from SATA0 to SATA2 as someone said in a similar thread.

The only thing that really helped was updating the virus program..it cut the boot time from 5min to 3min. So it seems there is something more to do.

When I ran on Vista it took about 90sec to start (I always start from computer turned off, no sleep mode or anything). I heard that seven was so fast to start...disappointed....or...perhaps not...it works great otherwise.

Welcome badlands sweden,

This is a slightly old thread here on SevenForums, but maybe some others will see our activity here and add some new posts

What did you upgrade from ? Maybe some previous things are causing problems.

Keep adding any more system specs & other info that might help us help you

What anti-virus program are you using?

Right now I´m at work so I cant exactly pin-point my spec. on my computer. But I´m using F-secure virus program since it is included in my internet operators deal.
But I have a HP pavilion m9760sc if that helps...1Tbyte harddrive, Intel® Core™2 Quad-processor Q8200, Intel® G33 express, 64-bit OS.

And I updated from vista home premium 64.
