| 173423 | 2003-09-06 10:09:00 | I just ran bootvis with Trace Boot + Driver Delays, 4 repetitions. It was going fine until the last restart. Now, on startup, the splash screen displays for 2-3 seconds, then disappears. After a pause, the mouse appears. Then after a few seconds the welcome screen comes up. Then the welcome sound plays, and a few seconds after that the desktop appears. Anyone know how I can get back to normal? |

| 173424 | 2003-09-06 11:42:00 | Can, or, have you tried "System Restore" yet? You do have it activated don't you? ;\ | electronhell (3374) | ||
| 173425 | 2003-09-06 19:55:00 | Um, well, no, not really, no. To be honest I did already realise that this might have been helpful. Owell :( I wondered if letting bootvis optimize the system might get things back to normal. However, I am unable to do this, as whenever it starts to optimize, it says: "Timeout waiting for schedule service to start". Click ok, then it says it can't defrag, please do so manually, and quits. Manually defragging doesn't help, so what can I do? |

| 173426 | 2003-09-06 20:57:00 | I think you need 'Task Scheduler' enabled in services for bootvis to work... | Trev O (452) | ||
| 173427 | 2003-09-06 21:21:00 | Hi, There are other boot optimizes around you could try, some are free, like MS Bootvis, others shareware. Google around for "BootXP 2", or search a p2p network. I haven't tried it yet. But as always do your backup first, and if you have the disk space, turnon System Restore. It can be useful sometimes. :| You can also edit/tweak your boot.ini file through Start/Run/ and type in 'msconfig' (no quotes) will gain a few sec's. And when/if you get your system back to how you like it, backup your boot.ini file. |

| 173428 | 2003-09-07 01:38:00 | Well, I changed Task Scheduler from manual to automatic (it was on manual because I'm a bit of a no "uneeded" processes freak), and bootvis ran fine, so now my pc boots properly. Thanks guys! One extra question: When I specify /bootlog as a parameter for boot.ini, where the heck is the bootlog stored ?:|? Anyway, it's off to backup I go ;-) |
