Use BootVis To Improve Windows XP Boot & Resume Timings
Miscrosoft was real serious during the times of Windows XP launch and same was the reason why today Windows XP is the most used OS even though MS has shut down the supply of XP in order to boost sales of Vista.
BootVis was an application launched by MS to increase the boot times of Windows XP and to improve its resume timings from hibernation or from standby. As per the analysis and promises BootVis has the abilites to enable Windows XP to perform a successful cold boot in 30 seconds, resume from standby state in 10 seconds, resume from hibernating state in 20 seconds. That is pretty fast I guess! Thanks Realgage Freemedia.
Microsoft said about BootVis: “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.”
One should remember that BootVis was a older application which is now not supported by Microsoft.
Did you try BootVis out? If so, you have no business recommending it. It is a VERY old application and is NOT supported on most machines that will be reading this blog. Loading BootVis will b0rk your system something nice and then removing it will give you an error msg on every start up that you cannot get rid of without fixing the mbr. Unless you’ve tried this, you really shouldn’t recommend it.
