3820TG is 5400rpm HDD but according to review, it's quite fast.

i detected a problem with previous setting; if i set "Dritek WMI Service" as "Delayed start", the Launch Manager will still work, but no more pop up graphics (which is cool and i like). so, i set it back to "Automatic", but i change the following to "Delayed start"

- Acer ePower service
- Diagnostic Policy service
- Program compatibility assistant service
- Raw socket service (Acer VCM) (if u dont use webcam chat, can remove this)
- Threatfire

i suspect the tool introduced by Eugine91 is really helpful, i run it again, my new score:

everytime i download attach..just index.php

try use this URL: http://www.planetsoft.org/

thanks..ok after i install n restart..nothing happen..@ any step ?? sorry noob here

What do u mean by popup graphics?
Wow, Urs is getting faster again! Do u use avast or any av software?

right click on boottimer.exe, select "Run as Administrator".

follow instructions to reboot notebook.

after a reboot, u will see your boot time.

to remove this tool properly:

0. copy boottimer.exe to c:\
1. click Start, type cmd, right click on the cmd.exe, Run as Administrator
2. type "c:\BootTimer.exe /run" <--- without the double qoute

Added on November 10, 2010, 12:41 amthe launch manager will display a transparent icon when i press fn key, say to reduce the volume, it ll display this



i m NOT using any AV at all. i stop using them many years ago. i m careful with what i m downloading and installing in my notebook. NEVER has any virus problem in my life. for 'suspicious' programs such as keygen, crack, etc, i only run those in my VMware.

however, i use a behavior AV called ThreatFire, its very lightweight, but not really for novice user...

OMG.. so fast..

The boot timer is a bit inconsistent I think...

Do you guys have to click YES to run the boot timer after startup?

Well mine does and depending how fast u click the YES, it affects ur boot time apparently lol...

Im always getting a constant time.. +/- 2-3 seconds

my boot up time with 12 programs at start up


Attached thumbnail(s)

OMG how you'all make it so fast 1?

Hmm... the start up time is reliant largely on HDD speed alone?

^HDD do play big part..

Yes it does

Oh I see, thanks for the input
Notebook's HDD can change 1 right? Not much brands selling those with 7,200rpm

Import Seagate Momentus XT

Yeah, I've heard quite a lot about this HDD~
But how to change the HDD in the laptop? Is it easy? Will there be any incompatibility issues?
