| 829580 | 2009-11-12 19:35:00 | Ever since I have had this computer ( July 2008) I have found that it was sometimes (most of the time) taking ages to boot up. I have found the solution and it might work with others who have the same problem. Don't leave a Dvd/Cd in your drive take it out before you switch off. :) |

| 829581 | 2009-11-12 20:06:00 | So true, esp if the PC is trying to boot from it. Bit like the old problem with people leaving 3 1/2" floppies in the drives, then getting unbootable disk error - that causes many a panic. |

| 829582 | 2009-11-12 20:22:00 | Yes I probably new this once but have forgotten. Been playing around with computers since 1985.:lol: | Trev (427) | ||
| 829583 | 2009-11-12 20:53:00 | This was a bit slow booting, till I changed the boot / advanced options to 2 CPU's. But it doesnt help if you've got a crap videocard either lol. And a colorful background (in Win7). For now, I'm using window classic, in Win7. I think I need a vidcard with more ram on it, before I turn Aero back on | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 829585 | 2009-11-12 22:23:00 | Thanks for the tip Trev. Now my PC boots up quicker than before | convair (13650) | ||
| 829586 | 2009-11-12 23:16:00 | Mate, that HD3450 is fine for Aero!....it isnt your cards problem thats for sure.... Totally agree :thumbs: I have a two workshop PC's running an old FX 5200 & FX 7300 / W7 and the aero works fine, not any good for gaming, but they are not designed to be a gaming PC's. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 829587 | 2009-11-12 23:40:00 | Well there's a prob with Win 7 then. If its on, then it takes longer to get into win 7. Its not an ATI driver prob, theyre not installed. And there's not much in startup, besides MSE, the Xnet usage monitor, an email notifier program, and info for the webcam | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 829588 | 2009-11-13 01:14:00 | Mate, that HD3450 is fine for Aero!....it isnt your cards problem thats for sure.... +1 - it's what I've got, and Aero on Vista's just fine. :D |
