Windows 10

[Bob Peterson]

I wrote about Diskeeper in another thread. You might want to look into it since your machine is booting slowly. I have always been impressed by how much Diskeeper helps with speed. Another possibility is anti-virus software. I now use only Microsoft Security Essentials, and have had no problems with malware. It’s a lot less demanding than any other anti-malware software that I have used.

I no longer anti-virus software. My computer doesn’t run very slowly (though it could use some help). It’s the boot up time that takes a while because I get a black screen before I get to my desktop for 15 seconds or so.

Edit: I downloaded a trial of Diskeeper. It seems pretty cool and Firefox already seems to open faster after startup. I’ll render a video today and see if it makes a difference there, too. I still get the black screen, though, which it seems like I’ll have to reinstall Windows 7 to fix.

Angelo, yeah you gonna have to reinstall windows 7 to fix that!
Diskeeper can only do so much.
