I read on microsoft that they no longer support the download of bootvis. My friend told me it does nothing for your computer and windows already does basiclly what boot vis does. Is this true?


Thank You,

Yes, ask long as you leave the Task Scheduler and Prefetch settings to default, it will automatically optimize your bootfile layout. It takes 3 reboots for this to happen IIRC.

The only thing I've ever used bootvis for is to diagnose long bootup delays to see which driver(s) was/were at fault.
 
Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into Windows XP. These routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
