Hi,
I'm trying to optimize a Dell Studio laptop running Windows 7 x64, 4GB RAM (should be a quick machine is what I'm getting at!) and I'd prefer not to do a fresh install if I don't have to. I boot into safe mode and keep an eye on the startup drivers, and there are two or three that hang for several seconds as it scrolls through the list of *.sys files. What is the best way to isolate and identify those drivers, and how do I either repair or temporarily disable those (isolate from the boot sequence) to speed up the startup time?
I've searched this and other forums and can't seem to find a similar issue, otherwise I wouldn't post. Thanks in advance!
