Vista Slow to Boot on Sony Vaio DLS
I upgraded my Sony Vaio DLS (VGXXL2 Intel Pent 920D, 2GD RAM) to Vista and
the boot time is incredibly long. It takes over 10 minutes to get to the Windows logon screen. Any dieas what might be slowing it down?

Vista Slow to Boot on Sony Vaio DLS
Non-compliant drivers
Non-compliant software Misconfigured hardware Malware Any of these or a combination of them could be the problem. use msconfig to put the system in diagnostic mode and see if the boot time is reduced. If it is, then it's a software issue. If not, it's more likely a hardware problem (and this could still include a driver issue). -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "RBWizard" wrote in message ...

Rick,
Thanks for the info. I expect it is a driver issue. A follow-up question: If I'm running the boot diagnostics, what would I be looking for?

Vista Slow to Boot on Sony Vaio DLS
Hi,
It's a diagnostic boot, and basically it disables anything non-essential, both software and services. You won't actually "see" anything. Whether or not this mode effects a change is an indicator of whether or not the problem is software related. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "RBWizard" wrote in message ...
