Y530 Boot Time

[jmcgonigal]

Does anyone else have issues with the boot time of their Y530? It doesn't seem like their is a lot of software loading at boot, yet it is SLOW. I have other Vista machines that aren't as powerful as this one and load a lot quicker. Anyone else have these issues right out of the box? Any solutions?

Reduce swapfile, get rid of Veriface, replace NIS by something lse, disable shadow volume copy service and idexing service (Windows Search).

Ok, I know how to delete the veriface software. How about the rest of the items. I'm totally clueless. This is 64bit Vista if that matters.

Thanks!

Go start->run->services.msc

There you find Windows Shadow volume copy service and Windows Search(indexing) service. In properties of both of them you should change start method on "disabled".

Then go to start->control panel->system->advanced system properties->advanced->highest properties button->advanced->virtual memory properties

there you uncheck checkbox for "automatic OS management of virtual memory" and typy size depending on your RAM amount.

Summary amount of your RAM and swapfile should be 3 GB - this will be enough for most of things to do.

Just clearly sign that swapfil sze starts at 102 mbytes and ends at 1024 mbytes if your RAM is about 2 GB.

Can you explain what you mean by replace NIS by something lse?

NIS is norton internet security - antivirus kit preinstalled in system.

I is a bit annoying and slow to my taste.
