| hey guys im not sure if anyone has done a review of this before but here it goes Microsoft BootVIS Claims to improve boot preformance but in the setp text it claims that it doesn't improve boot preforance but if you are running a semi-low Computer like a 400-900 you might notice a difference it take the files and loads only those relative to the startup.ini file and starts those processes even Before windows loads improving boot time. Personally i am using it on my rig the old 233mhz comp and i have Xp and Before installing it XP took Around 7 mins Now with BootVIS it takes me only 2 Mins to Boot and sign in to windows and have all my processes Preloaded for me.After Running it for the first time and was given the choice to do a trace of my files then when you select trace you will be prompted to restart then after restarting you will see a graph that shows what you are booting up for files with windows and then you can Optimize windows by clicking in a menu on the top and selecting optimize and then again you will be prompted to start then windows will restart and require you to sign and and will load the optimizer program then once it is done go about your daily computing needs.Microsoft Claims that BootVIS is no longer downloadable from them i happen to have a copy and will gladly email or send it to someone... | ||

| BootVis rocks! And it isn't supported or downloadable by microsoft. I ran it one time, got me stuck in a boot loop and I had to format the rig (though, knowing what I know now I prolly could've gotten around it by using the install repair console). My boot times are like, 40 seconds though, without using it, so I'm not feeling the need to risk it (scirred of it). | ||
