33 second to login

[dpruk]

Hi, I am running vista ultimate and am having trouble when logging in. When I boot the system it boots fine to the login in screen. When I put my password in it takes 33 seconds sitting at Welcome to get to the desktop. When it does get to the desktop all is fine. It also does this if I log out and back in again (just the login part) . If I lock the pc and then log back in it is straight in. Surley 33 seconds is too long. Any help apreciated. By the way this is a fresh install with the latest drivers

When you reboot you're reloading all the system services and startup programs, have you tried trimming back services and or startup programs you don't need? Going to sleep then waking up should be faster because all those services and programs are already loaded. 30 seconds is actually a pretty average boot time I believe.

Check out the Boot up tutorial, it also links to tutorials how to check and disable unnecessary services ->> http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70563-boot-up.html

is 30second from turning on or from loging on? not turned off any services but it wasnt like that to begin with

Are you using readyboost, or prefetch?

Also, can you clarify, when you log in does it take 30 seconds or so for the welcome screen to go away, or does it switch and start to go to desktop, but takes 30 seconds or so for the desktop to fully come up?

Hi,

You might try using automatic logon , to see if that's any faster - if it is, it suggests something going on with the manual log on process. If it's not any quicker, then it may be some apps. taking a long time to load / startup.

Hope it helps
