Vista slow Startup probelm
Long time booting by mabradford – 2/10/07 10:27 PM In reply to: another thought by idzyn4u22
I have read in other websites that sound drivers were culprits in longtime bootup sessions. I would suggest that you unload all peripherals and let Vista find them again – but, one at a time while you keep them unplugged. Personally – I would give Ubuntu 6.1 a good try. I think you’ll find that you will really fall in love with it — once you have learned to load Flash and get the mpegs and mp3′s and such running. I have my own enjoympeg program loaded on all my Linux boxes and allow RealPlayer to play as much of the non-open systems music and video stuff that I can. Of course you have to have a converter for AVI and WMV files from Microsoft — but, that’s a nice chanllenge for you to learn with. Out of 6 flavors of Linux – I use SuSE 10.2 for work and now I’m using Ubuntu for everything else. As you know – Linux doesn’t get virus’ very often and these later versions are sweet. I personally like Windows 2000 and XP – but, I love my Linux flavors and wouldn’t be without them. I can fix Windows NTFS problems with Linux amongst other issues — while Windows isn’t even booted — but, can’t do that in reverse with Windows fixing Linux. And too — all the office, animation, and just useful programs of an everyday kind – come with Linux for Free of Charge — unlike the $500 you’re going to spend on Windows for similar or same products. I think people using Windows should just send Microsoft money for the products but, to save headaches – just be simple and load Linux and forget Windows and the 2 year learning curve you as a normal user – are going to go through trying to figure out why it has crashed or won’t boot. I protect my Windows boxes with Linux — so, I’m happy with both…but, prefer Linux.
