Hi Sean5900xt Yeah I get a pause, for about 2 seconds, I have been told it could be loading my video card adapter (nvidia ) or a bad driver, way back on win ME, i got a pause of around 15 seconds, I updated my vid adapter, and that cured it I think bootvis only lays out existing drivers etc. in a more logical sequence , but will not cure a problem, Can anyone explain the boot sequence in words of simple English for a newbie, Just the basics coz I have simple mind !!! anyone running Bootskin ?

Hi guys, Thanks for the head up on bootvis, brock01, I have been using ver, 1.0.01 for a few years, no longer available from MS, It shaves off about 5 seconds on my start up of 35 seconds, but I have a lot of progs, in my startup folder, I just updated bootvis to the latest ver. I clear out my prefetch folder from time to time (monthly ) and use super prefetch in the registry, so around 30 sec. is OK by me, as I used to run win 3.1 back in 97, I could make a coffee and cook lunch while it booted up ,LOL

Christopher Maxwell, hope he gets the Max =10y +250,000usd

How did you [glow=red,2,300]stumble over testmy??[/glow]Madam , I'm British I never stumble, maybe stagger a little on a Saturday night, Jeez I cant remember how I found Testmy.net, but I am glad I did, I used it to ruffle the feathers of my ISP, and finaly got the speed I was paying for, Regards Roco [glow=red,2,300]JN[/glow].

Hey guys he did say back in 1998, we were all innocents back in those days, I was running win 3.1 with no internet connection then Regards Roco UK ( [glow=red,2,300]Jn[/glow]. )

Hi Ca3le &RTB no probs. guys, its just I had told some friends that I was ranked as Cool guy on testmy.net, so when they check it out, I will be listed as Jn. I'm in for some stick over that, my web cred is blown, anyway I am just happy to be a Jn.member of testmy. forum I think Jn. has now a slightly different meaning in the UK as opposed to the USA, more used as a derogatory term over here, Hey RTB thanks for the encouragement , if I should live that long, as time is not on my side regards Roco UK

My user name > Roco, Roco is the first 2 letters of my first and last name , Ro* Co***** if any one can fill in the 6* and guess correctly , they will win the chance of a valuable prize, a Airline ticket in my name from London to the USA or I could accept a cash alternative, :: Roco UK

Hi waterRTBH Guess you had rich parents , I only had a hoop and stick, it helped take my mind off the Highway robbers, My age ? put it this way, I now have a free public transport pass to use in london, and if you know the cost of fares here, it makes me a [glow=red,2,300]COOL GUY [/glow] around town, Regards from Jr Roco UK :

Hi guys I am probably in the wrong thread, please move if you wish, I am a puter newbie, self taught, also new to forums, running Xp. with ASR back up made monthly, maybe I am just one step up from a average home puter user, for online security I use , AVG antivirus, sygate firewall, Adaware, spyware blaster, and I do monthly scans with A2 online, Trend, and check with GRC. I connect with a usb modem, I joined Testmy.net , because I wish to learn more, I have only had to use ASR backup once , due to a floating banner , I am running sp2 with updates since then, so is there any more I can do, and is my set up OK Roco. UK

Hi Karthic Did you do a full scan on GRC ? this is my scan result --Results from scan of ports: 0-1055 0 Ports Open 0 Ports Closed 1056 Ports Stealth --------------------- 1056 Ports Tested ALL PORTS tested were found to be: STEALTH. TruStealth: PASSED - ALL tested ports were STEALTH, - NO unsolicited packets were received, - NO Ping reply (ICMP Echo) was received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am using Sygate free ver. 5.5.2525 , have you tried Sygate free scan @ http://scan.sygatetech.com/ Norton came off easy ? that is the first case I have come across.!!! the easiest way to be free of Norton is to reformat as rayray909 said check your reg. norton fragments all over the place, beware of just deleting the bits, Oops reformat time again Hi Cholla re. you probs with Sygate firewall update failure, I had the same prob going up from ver.5.5 to 5.6 , there was a lot on the forums at the time , Sygate just appeared to ignore this , ver. 5.5 became in great demand, but not from Sygate site,

HI your19th birthday is something special , I wont happen again,unlike most sh*t in life, Happy /happy_bday.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':bday:' />:' /> from across the pond

Hi cholla What o/s was you using at the time of using sygate , I have used it on 98/MeXp without any probs. on many puters. . 5.6 is know en for slowing puters, it bought mine to a crawl I use 5.5 ver.2525 it comes up stealthed on GRC also at sygates stealth test site, logs and back trace are really good , grab it while you can @ http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=sygate
