BootTimer
Version: 1.0.4, Nov 16, 2008
Calculates the time it takes to start Windows XP
NOTE: Only run this program in Windows XP
You can run this from anywhere, as it copies itself to a temp folder on the system drive. This modifies the Boot.ini (makes backup then restores on reboot) And UserInit loading. Use at your own risk.
A Higher Boot Score typically means faster overall boot (its not based on 1-100). Boot score may need some work but in testing with various fixed results it worked out well. Highest possible boot score is 250 but I doubt ANYONE will ever get that.
Example: Eee PC 4G
Results Explained:
All times are calculated from the same Start Time; the Start Time being the time the boot log is created,
which is right when drivers and services are loaded/started.
-Boot time is time it takes drivers and services to load (similar to the BootVis timing)
-Desktop is the time it takes to display my app (seems to be the same from one PC to the next)
-Userinit waits for userinit.exe to exit.
Userinit deals with login, network connections etc.
Score is based on the Boot time and Userinit.
Important:
Windows XP System files and Registry are modified - if unsure do not run this program.
If you run into any problems after running this program, contact us as we may be able to assist.
Known Issues:
1) Deleting temporary folder before program is run on reboot, may cause Windows XP to fail.
2) Running this program on any other OS other then Windows XP may cause your OS to fail.
Terms:
This is free software and we are not to be held responsible nor liable for damage from
the use or misuse of this software.
Requirements:
Requires Visual Basic 6 Runtimes and Windows XP.
Emergency Help:
Incase you come across an error and Windows XP does not login after running this program, create a Bart PE (or similar) CD/USB Drive and boot to that. Use file management and copy userinit.exe to boot_timer.exe in the hidden temporary folder. You will then be able to login to Windows and once there you can open Regedit and manually edit the Userinit value ("c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe, ") or run the following reg file: userinit.reg (334bytes) (65 downloads)
