Boot Time

Well, I Have Recently Purchased A Toshiba Windows Vista Home Premium Laptop. How Can I Make My Boot Screen Pass A Bit Faster?

How long is it taking you? What is the spec of the laptop?

Toshiba Equium A200 - 1VO, Its Taking About 30 Seconds To Boot Up On A Brand New Laptop With Nothing Other Than Preinstalled Things Except Microsoft Office 2003. Also I Do Not Want To Buy Any Harddrives Or...Well Anything. Just A Program Or Something I Can Delete Help?

How much ram do you have? If you have less than 1gb you can benefit from readyboost.

The best way would be to upgrade your hard drive which you don't want to do.

You can go into start > run > msconfig (may be different in Vista)

and delete unneeded startup software and drivers (drivers load at startup and software runs when you reach the desktop)
