Using bootvis on winxp sp3 I can get it to trace next boot + driver
delays. It gives me a nice bunch of graphs on the next boot. But when I
do Optimize system, on reboot, it says "bootvis is optimizing system" but
it just sits there. I don't see any disk activity. I can do other
things but bootvis appears to do nothing and never finishes.

anyone knows what's happening? thanks

Uhh, what?
BootVis description
BootVis - *Microsoft* tool to provide faster XP boot and resume times
BootVis is a performance trace visualization utility that you can use
with Windows XP systems. Customer research shows a frequently requested
feature that users want from their PCs is fast system startup, whether
from cold boot or when resuming from standby or hibernation.

The Windows development team at *Microsoft* has taken bold steps in
making fast startup PCs a reality with the Microsoft Windows XP
operating system.

Here are some key features of "BootVis":

· Boot to a useable state in a total of 30 seconds
· Resume from Hibernate (S4) in a total of 20 seconds
· Resume from Standby (S3) in a total of 5 seconds
-------------------------


These are also useful links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BootVis
http://tweakhound.com/xp/bootvis/
And two or a million other sites that carry the tool and have
information about it.

You'll note that MS has basically abandoned BootViz; it was never an
actual product, but something some employees came up with that was handy
to use.
I suspect SP3 may cause issues for it. I know there are some issues
even with SP2.

In bootvis,go to trace,select optimize system.Also,all boxes should be
checked in the L.sub menu except disk utilization.
