ok... ive finally timed my laptop after the wpt and know how wpt works the actual way
last night i timed my boot, i got this: ![]() my boot time should be around 1 minutes and in this few weeks, i also compiled the 2 most common wpt errors, the part to prepart step 2 of 6 and step 5 of 6. to fix these problems, I included the exact error messages as well QUOTE run cmd as administrator input the text below or just paste it xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot Troubleshoot #1 Gave up waiting for Win7RTM physical prefetcher after 300 seconds. Could not wait for prefetcher. Couldn't find kenrel logger in active logger list. Couldn't find user-mode logger in active logger list. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SysMain 0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction * "OptimizeComplete" with a string data of "No" * "OptimizeError" with a string data of "Missing Registry Entries" * "Enable" with a string data of "Y" * "LcnStartLocation" with a string data of 0 * "LcnEndLocation" with a string data of 0 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Prefetcher "BootFilesOptimized" with a Double-Word data of 1 #2 Failed to defragment disk after 5 attempts PrepareSystem failed Couldn't find kernel logger in active logger list Couldn't kind user-mode logger in active logger list HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction Enable = Y OptimizeComplete = Yes the above solution is only make u able to run wpt but wont optimize ur boot performances. in order to make the wpt works like a charm; 1. run windows defragmenter to defragment c drive 1-2 times at least 2. open cmd as admin 3. paste xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot 4. wait until the WPT finish its job (6 time reboot) i just wanna tell u guys how satisfied i am to have a boot time around 1 minute. as for the solutions in the quoted text, is because of that maybe u never run any defragmenter before and therefore by following the solution, wpt able to run but wont optimize the boot time This post has been edited by sarf2k4: Feb 26 2011, 11:25 AM |

I think its all started from the switchable graphic mode driver installations that made it slow and i never run any defragmenter before starting up the wpt process. i thought by using the solutions above still able to improve my boot time but its just a fake 6-time restart by wpt and no boot optimization were done in the process. right now my boot time is around 1 minute, and im satisfied with 1 minute as well. |

How do you guys check the boot time of your laptops?
My boot up time is around the same as my 6 year old laptop with 2gb ram. But it is 10x slower. Its so laggy and I havent even used it yet. Only burned the eRecovery discs. So disappointing.sigh This post has been edited by barca96: Feb 27 2011, 01:52 PM |

hey guys, just got my 4820tg yesterday
all i can say is, its a marvelous laptop , best bang for buck i'd say. besides the overly glossy screen ( not much of a problem with high brightness ) , its perfect. how do i install the latest ATI catalyst control center? i've tried doing that, and i lost the ability to switch to ATI graphics from the desktop , it stayed on intel only, i had to restore back Edit : gonna send it back , toshiba harddisk making faint scratching noises .... Edit2 : did some googling, and it seems that the harddisk noise may be normal.. wonder if any of u have this? i ran a few tests on the harddisk, all passed This post has been edited by jedi_dc: Feb 27 2011, 08:58 PM |

lol.... maybe becos i have lots of startup items running, my actual fastest time was 53sec and i didnt disable some startup items by the acer driver alone
now im facing artifact rendering problem while on switchable mode playing Cities XL 2011 (massive artifact while playing the cities) to measure the boot time, use the boottimer search in google of course. it'll boot ur pc and time the duration for the boot until the message appeared for the switchable problem, try clean the driver using driver sweeper, install the ati driver from acer website then the latest catalyst 11.2 from the ati.com in discrete graphic mode good luck in that |
