Startup

I have a new laptop (HP dv9000 with Intel Centrino Duo x64 2.0 with 2 GB
RAM, 512MB nVidia Video, 200 GB drive). I'm running Vista Ultimate. This was
suppose to be my 'dream machine'. I really looked forward to the day when I
finally got to bring it home.

I have MS Office 2007 and Zune software installed, but that's basically it.
I used offline files in the past (in the first few weeks I had the laptop)
to sync a network drive which contained all my media files. After starting
my laptop I would basically have to walk away for an hour while it ran at
100%. Using ProcMon I discovered it was the offline files that caused my CPU
to run so hard and have since disabled the service. However, I still have to
wait anywhere between 10 - 15 minutes before my laptop really becomes usable
after booting up. I even have to wait sometimes 5 minutes or more when
shutting down for the process to complete.

What's with all the wait time? I can't figure out all these services that
run that are suppose to make my computing experience better. I have several
svchost processes that run. One of these takes up 140 MB of memory alone.
When it comes to performance, why can't I have one control panel that allows
me to choose which services I want to run that may effect the performance of
my machine? I feel like I need to take a 10-week Microsoft course to learn
what is necessary to configure my laptop.

In the control panel there is "Performance Tools and Information". However,
I haven't found anything too helpful yet. It shows me the startup
applications, which is nice. Also, it has indexing options. It says I
currently have 823 items indexed....all from Outlook. That doesn't seem like
many items to me. At least I'm able to rule out Indexing.

I don't see anything else. There are three svchost instances set to startup.
They list dll files with no description:
NvCpl.dll, NvStartup
nvsvc64.dll, nvsvcStart
NvMcTray.dll, nvTaskbarInit

The list of applications is incomplete. There are many other apps that run
at startup. Some I'm familiar with and many I am not.

Your first step should be to ask HP.

Thank you for pointing out that calling support is an option. Many times
when presented with an issue I will use more than one resource to resolve
it. I have opened a ticket with HP. Essentially I was told there is nothing
HP can do. What did I really expect them to do?

Before, I complained about not being able to see the many processes that
run, and their disk activity. Someone responded with the ProcMan
application. Already I received more assistance on these groups. It's a
great interactive knowledge base. I would encourage people to use it rather
than point them in other directions.

Those starting with NV are nVidia and are related to either or both of the
video card or chipset on the MOBO

If your Video Card is a GO card, make sure you have the proper GO driver -
the default nVidia drivers does not support GO cards!

My video drivers work fine, thanks. I'm not having driver issues. I'm only
having performance issues.
