Hello! It's me again...
I wanna know this. Is there anything like os that boots very quickly like on HP ProBook series...
So when I boot I could choose one of them and maybe just acces internet or something...

There is something like an OS that boots, its called another OS> You need it just to get to the internet.

I suspect you are asking if there is something faster because you netbook is booting slow. Is that the case?

Not really... I have notebook, but windows is booting slowly for me to just check on email or youtube or facebook... so i need something like that

How old is your notebook? Mine boots pretty quick and it's 4 years old with Win 7 Pro 64 with NIS 360. Try using Readyboost with an USB stick. Unless you've got lots of RAM in the notebook than that won't make much difference. Maybe check your startup programs see which ones you don't need starting up right away.

Hello xDinichx.



This is a good point, have a look at the tutorial at the link below to see if there's some things that are running that don't need to be, it may speed you up.

How to Clean up the Startup File

I think this is your computer correct?

if so, it seems upgrading hardware is hard to do so the first option is to slim down what is running.


Over time, and installations, your computer will startup slower if there are programs that are starting up when you boot your computer. you can go through these programs one by one and disable the "Start when computer starts" options in each program. or you can look in the MSConfig (type msconfig in the search box in Start menu) to see what is set to run on startup and unchecking things you know you dont need.

There are a lot of programs as well that install software behind your back. Things like iTunes require or install Quicktime, Bonjour and AppleUpdater; Googletoolbar installs GoogleDesktop and GoogleUpdater... As well things also install other ones like Asktoolbar or Yahootoolbar.
All these things are ways for the company to have you access their service instead of others. It is marketed as a convenience to the User, but instead slows down peoples computers.



The second option would be to look into Dual booting with a Linux Distro. There might be one that is quick and low resources that can handle quick startup and internet.


Edit: i am slow to post but still I think it is a good Idea to look at the MSconfig as you might find programs that are loading up that you dont actually need. (Even on brand new computers)

btw my acer is:
core i5 43om

I think what the OP wants is to have his PC boot and access a browser to get to the internet w/o it having to be Windows booting, i.e. like a cellphone, blackberry or etc where you hit the browser and you're there.

Even the devices I posted about have their own unique OS to operate they just aren't Windows unless the device is using Windows CE. I think having a cellphone, or Blackberry would be the solution if your carrier supports the internet, any PC or MAC is going to need to boot to an OS to run a browser.

 

[metalmania31]

Ok you need a different device or leave your pc on and just put it to sleep and when you wake it up you won't have wait for a boot time. Or get an Ipad or like fishnbanjo said get some dedicated device like a smart phone/tablet that does those things specifically.

Type msconfig in Start search box. On Startup Tab, deselect all items except AV, gadgets if u use them. Anything else can wait til you click on it to start up, otherwise it is a freeloader on your RAM/CPU and mostly phones home to spy on you.

Next, install CCLeaner, "Run Cleaner" and then on Registry tab "Check for Problems" and clean them up.

Next, install Auslogics Disk Defragger and run monthly after CCLeaner to keep your computer clean and ordered.

Check Optional Windows Updates to see if newer drivers are available.

Replace bloated paid AV with lightweight, invisible Microsoft Security Essentials. Installs in 30 seconds, updates and then disappears until a threat arises.

Report back how much these steps improve your startup time. Consider using Sleep for quick wake-up, then restart once a week to avoid constipation.

This is the kind of thing metalmania31 is referring too,

ASUS' Express Gate 2.0 instant-on OS demoed on video -- Engadget

It isn't something you can add to just any computer, it has to be supported by the motherboard. I haven't looked into it but as far as I know Asus is the only one to offer it (my motherboard has it but never tried it).

Edit: You could always try something like this,

DSL information

and boot it from a USB drive.

 

[Thorsen]

Stormy, ExpressGate is pretty good. Very basic, but loads up in about 5 seconds. I have it on my Asus laptop as well.


I also agree with the DSL. I haven't seen it in action though.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

I have an Asus board with it, I've always meant to have a go at it but never get around to it.

My laptop had something similar. Dell's mediadirect. But that function is not available to me because I got rid of it when I upgraded to Win 7. Plus I never used it. I guess that sort of thing needs to be built in/proprietary. Or at least that's only how it's offered. But what the OP wants is probably not doable on his computer. Plus he says he doesn't need speeding up, but he complained about how slow his computer boots. Huh?

 

[xDinichx]

Yea i needed something like that asus program... But thanks anyway...

If you want quick access, and have wireless access, get an iPod Touch. You can access Facebook, YouTube, your email whatever you want to very quickly. Other than that you will just have to put your computer into sleep mode instead of shutting it off completely.
