so uhm... this envy14 thingy should able to fix it? is this a modded driver and what it does actually?

so... if i use this, using the switchable mode and playing a games with my radeon wont have arifacts?

ok... i hope so too as well. im going to try out the wpt right now... hope theres no more error after followed the post from 2nd last post

i think so too... ive successfully completed the optimization, got about 40sec boost from 190 to 150 sec, this is right before the post boot actually started under the boot phases section and total time after the optimization is 280sec (thats the end time that can be viewed)

p/s
the game booster actually halts any process that r marked as can make ur laggy when u switched to gaming mode and resumes it after u restores it

actually the trace file saved by the trace steps, opened it using the performance analyzer though

Driver Packaging Version 8.741.1.6-101021a-107242C-Acer
Provider ATI Technologies Inc.
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1038
2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet002/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0001
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0761
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9901
Catalyst Control Center Version 2011.0104.2155.39304

still, i think its quite troublesome to keep on changing between switchable and discrete

i see on that 1st

i wonder y my laptop have a wide gap of boot time and all of them r varies?

how do i read the xml file?

what should i find there? its 100-150kb in sizes and its huge...

did u patch ur driver using those envy? or do a clean driver install of ur ati?

<timing bootDoneViaExplorer="153381" bootDoneViaPostBoot="-1" osLoaderDuration="3558"
postBootRequiredIdleTime="10000" postBootDisturbance="9223371873473"
pnpBootStartStartTime="43" pnpBootStartEndTime="2534" pnpBootStartDuration="2490"
pnpSystemStartStartTime="9002" pnpSystemStartEndTime="51829" pnpSystemStartDuration="42827">

is what i found

i dunno... maybe i would be using the boottimer instead

p/s
i got a total boot time of 350sec using boottimer

p/s 2

i dont set up the weak windows logon password, only the bios password one... its confirmed that my machine gotten slower and took it up to 6 minutes

should be around 30 startups.. one of the slowest process is during boot time, when the logo appeared already... i hate to use the last resort>>reformat the laptop again and resetting it

its becos some processes r needed for the timelinex as well especially the acer odd, launch manager, power management, igfx thingy, ccc, currently having 100 tasks

aww man... i really dunno what things i should do liao... i could revert back to the point where i last do the fresh install my machine complete with all the essential things i needed but most important part to me is the data that i obtained since then especially some registry settings about several applications

erm....

these r the startups that available in msconfig

and this is inside the hklm startup

erm... what about the services?

the windows services, that is started during boot time

what did u do to these services? disable or manual?

oh... completed the defragment process... i guess im going to try out on how its going after having only 7 startups from msconfig

1 question though, i got this server.exe inside
c:\user\...\appdata\roaming\install\server.exe

it started automatically even without any registry in the hklm or hklu or even msconfig. its like a batch file or something and not listed inside task manager once executed. the only thing is that the cmd pops up a while for about fraction of a second then it closed. should i worry about this application?

here is my boot time
