1. USB hard disk and scanner and other equipment
If the computer has a scanner and other devices, or when the USB hard drive is connected at start, try to disconnect them first, see if the start speed is changed. In general, since the USB interface speed is slow, the corresponding device will have a significant impact on the speed of the computer, and should be tried to connect to the USB device after startup. If there is no USB device, it is recommended to close the USB function directly in the BIOS settings.
Tip: Since the Windows is started, each drive (including the optical drive) is detected, so if the disc is placed in the optical drive, the startup time of the computer will also be extended.
2. Comats of the NIC
If the setting is improper, the NIC will significantly affect the system boot speed. If your computer does not use the network card, then unplug the network card directly to avoid affecting the system startup speed.
If your computer is connected to the local area network, after the NIC driver is installed, the system will automatically pass the IP address by default, but most companies have no DHCP servers, so if the user is set to "automatically obtain IP addresses. ", The system will continue to search for the DHCP server in the network until you get an IP address or timeout, it naturally affects the startup time, so the local area network user is best to specify fixed IP addresses for their own computer.
3. Document and printer sharing
Some computers that have been installed with Windows XP will also start very slow problems, and even more than 1 minute 40 seconds! The system seems to be dead. After logging in to the system, the desktop does not appear, the computer is like stopping the reaction, and it can be used normally after 1 minute. This is because after using the bootvis.exe program, the MRXSMB.DLL file is started to add 67 seconds to the computer!
To solve this problem, just stop shared folders and printers: Select "Start → Settings → Network and Dial-up Connections", right-click "Local Connection", select "Properties", cancel this connection in the open window "This connection uses the following The checkbox before the "Microsoft Network and Printer Sharing" under selected components can restart the computer.
Tip: Microsoft has upgraded several times for the Bootvis.exe file, and it does have a great help to Windows XP's startup speed, it is recommended to go to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/platform/performance/ FastBoot / Default.mspx Download this tool.
4. Unused network drive
In order to eliminate or reduce Windows must re-establish the number of network connections, it is recommended to break some network drives that don't need to be used, which is to enter "My Computer", right-click the network drive that has been mapped, select "Disconnect" .
5. There are too many hard disk partitions.
If your Windows 2000 is not upgraded to SP3 or SP4, it defines too many partitions, which will make the boot very long, even hang. So it is recommended to upgrade the latest SP4, and it is best not to tide too much area for hard drives. Because Windows must load each partition during startup, with the increase of the number of partitions, the total amount of time to do this will continue to grow.
6. Too much to make trouble
There are too many icons on the desktop to reduce the system startup speed. Every time Windows launches and displays the desktop, you need to find a desktop shortcut icon and load them, the more icons, the more you spend, and the more time it takes. It is recommended that you will be placed in a special folder or simply delete it!
Tip: Some anti-virus software provides system launch scanning function, which will cost a lot of time. In fact, if you have opened the real-time monitoring of anti-virus software, then the scanning system is more excess, or the function is forbidden. Let's! 7. Excessive font is also dragging legs
Although Microsoft claims that Windows can install 1000 to 1500 fonts, it is actually found that there is a problem, such as: font disappearing from the font list of the application and Windows startup speed . It is best to remove or unopened fonts, to avoid the need for the necessary backup to avoid deleting.
8. Microsoft starts from "internal"
I still remember that a patch of Windows XP causes the system to start slow-down news (such as: the patch of the code Q328310 caused Windows 2000 / XP boot and shutdown speed, and even possible to cause registry locks), see Microsoft himself The possibility of internal problems is not small. If you have upgraded a system patch, suddenly found that the system starts slow, then it is best not to pay attention to the disaster of the duplication.
