Hi there. I got a HP laptop, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB HD, Dual Core 2.3 GHz, Vista
Ultimate 64 bits, NO extra software added except Office 07.
Boot time until hard disk stops about 4 to 5 minutes. The Event Viewer is
full of warnings and some criticals and erros, such as:
Warning 1/17/2008 10:03:57 PM Diagnostics-Performance 101 Boot Performance
Monitoring
Critical 1/17/2008 10:03:57 PM Diagnostics-Performance 100 Boot Performance
Monitoring
Error 1/17/2008 3:39:12 PM Diagnostics-Performance 400 System Performance
Monitoring
All of them related to "This application took longer than usual to start up,
resulting in a performance degradation in the system startup process"
Once Vista is done booting, performance is great, compared to my Dell
desktop which also has very good hardware.
Any idea how to solve the booting issue?
Thanks,
Gabe.

Hi.
I've been solve the problem tonight.
Here is explaine:
Microsoft Office 2007, Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2007 and MS SQL
Server Express.
If you want uninstall the Business Contact Manager, uninstaller ask you for
uninstall the SQL Server Express too. If you confirm that, both the
aplications will be uninstall correctly. BUT. Three parts of SQL Server
Express will stay in OS. Check it in Program Manager and remove them.
My Vista boot in 90 seconds again.
