Hello,
Since you're booting from a DVD, the 5 minutes boot time seems reasonable. When you boot from this kind of support/device, a lot of things are loaded in the RAM itself. It also depends on the max speed provided by your disk reader.
Are you suggesting I boot from the ISO itself on disk? If so, I don't know how to do that.JW01, 2017-08-16 14:20:15 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure it isn't doable...
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure I understand the relevance of HDD speed. And anyway my disk boot times are OK. Also I don't have a WinXP ISO but a Windows XP system. And no VM is involved.
Maybe I wasn't clear.
I have a Windows XP system and two 8TB disk drives which XP doesn't support. To solve this problem I got the Win10PESE ISO from ToolsLib, burned it to DVD and booted from that DVD (w...
I again dear friend, Hi friends, sorry a little OT (my post can be moved to a more appropriate thread, if you want, thanks). A way to force Firefox to playback (as in the glorious past) youtube, facebook, skylinewebcams videos via Flash Player (developed until 2020!) instead of the catastrophic html5. In the past month I was able to add a Mozilla addon in FF and/or to change the MP4 keys in abo...
It all depends on the rig. HDD's are not known to be the fastest at boot times, especially if the system is Windows XP, quite a legacy system right now. Not really sure. If you PC specs are good, then you shouldn't have such long boot times, unless your HDD's are really slow. Did you notice anything else during the boot? Is your WinXP iso image clean? If you got it from a third party, I wouldn'...
I burned the ISO yesterday to enable me to access two 8TB drives that I had just bought for my offline Windows XP system, and it worked perfectly.
However, I was concerned about how long it took from selecting DVD boot to seeing the desktop: 5 minutes 20 seconds!
Is there anything that can be done to reduce this to a reasonable level?
Since PUP is a potentially unwanted software, it might not be an infection, just some rogue application running or installed on your PC. Do a thorough scan with Malwarebytes and see if it helps to deal with the issue. Also, you can try searching for the folder manually, as the path is listed and remove it that way. If you have issues, kill the process with the task manager and then remove it.
Glad the issues have been sorted out. For future reference, I recommend installing some form of Adblock, as not only that prevents malicious ad pop-ups but also some malicious websites as well. Additionally, you can check any link before clicking it using Virus Total or Scanurl. Good luck!
Glad to see everything is working again. 7.0.2 seems to be a lot more stable than other versions, hopefully, this continues. Also, you could upload your pictures to a free image upload site and paste the links here :)
Hi, I had the same problem, it would do a scan and then when I would clean it would stop right away and say Caught and some other things can't think of offhand but it would not let me x it out and would have to minimize it and then right click to close window. That was from the time it went from 7.0.0 to the 7.0.1. I know it changes after a few weeks or so so I have been checking every few da...
Here's the log... I still get that one PUP.Optional.Legacy result, dammit.
So it's really an infection after all?
