    I just upgraded from Vista Home Premium to Vista Ultimate. Everything went well during the upgrade, but now I find that the boot up and shutdown is very very slow. The settings in my system have not changed, nor have I added any additional boot up items. Has anyone had this experience? My PC specs are: Intel Duo Core 2.66, 4GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD 2400 w/512 MB, SATA 750GB HDD. Thanks.

    Hi fsiaca. Since you have pretty good system specs try downloading and running the following programs below. See if you notice any increase in performance after running each program.

    1. Download and run Auslogics Disk Defrag http://auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag
    2. Download and run Auslogics Registry Defrag http://auslogics.com/en/software/registry-defrag
    3. Download and run ATF Cleaner http://majorgeeks.com/ATF_Cleaner_d4949.html
    5. Run disk cleanup, Start< All Programs< Accessories< Disk Cleanup
    6. Turn off unneeded Windows Features, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/remove-optional-and-probably-unnecessary-windows-vista-components/

    After you have ran those programs reboot the machine and see if you notice a speed increase. If your system is still slow after performing the above options then go to http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/servicecfg.htm which shows you all of the windows services on your computer and you can find out which ones you can safely disable in order to get better performance. :)

    No Problem. I have used those programs for a long time and I have always noticed a speed increase after using them. :)

    Evan, I just finished running all of the utilities in your response and now the PC boots up and shuts town much faster. I don't know which one did the triack, or if it was a combination of all of them. Thanks for all the help!

    I am glad I could help. I have been optimizing computers for a few years now and I know that those programs did their job. I am happy to hear that your computer is much faster. :cool: :D Take Care! :)
