Guest DC Gringo Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I used the bootvis utility to troubleshoot long startups some time ago and loved it. While it's optimization technique is apparently built into Windows XP, it gave me a clear and visible graph of what was taking so long so I could disable it if not needed. Microsoft discontinued it but I still have a copy. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work any more. I get an error: "file is not in recognizable format" when I try to open the .bin file it creates. Does anyone know how to get it to run right or have a replacement product that does the same thing? DCG

Guest wojie Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 RE: bootvis or similar Get Bootvis 1.3.36, delete all your traces, and run them again. It will work. 1.3.37 introduced some problems with SATA drives. "DC Gringo" wrote: > I used the bootvis utility to troubleshoot long startups some time ago and > loved it.
