Bootcamp Windows 7 Start Up takes longer in MBP 13 2011 than in MBP 13 2010

Hi,
I used to have a Macbook Pro 13, middle of 2010.
Now, I changed it for the i7 Macbook Pro 13, early 2011.
In both macs I've been using Windows 7 over bootcamp, and also, Parallels 6.
The problem that I have with the new one i7 2011, is that it takes a lot of time to boot in Windows. It even shows a black screen before booting windows for many seconds. The old one 13 from 2010, used to boot in Windows 7 without the black screen, so it was much more faster.
This problem does not happen when I start the windows bootcamp partition using Parallels 6 in Mac OS X 1.6.7.
In fact, since I have an SSD Drive, it boots faster the windows 7 bootcamp partition from parallels in MAC OSX, than booting window 7 bootcamp directly from the beginning.
I have Bootcamp 3.2, and Apple Software Update in Windows 7 does not show any missing new versions of bootcamp drivers.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks
Luciano

OK, I think the solution is close to these ones:
It seems that bootcamp messes around with the windows 7 activation somehow... Even if the Windows 7 is a legal copy as mine is... And my copy of windows says "Activated" on my Control Panel -> System
Anyway, here are the links...

- http://viperfx07.blogspot.com/2010/01/tutorial-fixing-slow-booting-in-windows.ht ml  this last link It seems it uses a SLIC program to activate windows... Don;t understand it...
I still haven'ttested it.... And I think, since They deal with the Master Boot Record, it could break the bootcamp partition and make it not-bootable...
So, if someone of you guys don't mind to test it, I'll really thank you. (My bootcamp partition has lot of work-related files) and I don't want to mess around with it...

    Most likely reason is a slow internet connection.

  • Start up takes longer with yosemite

    since i updated to yosemite why does it take longer to boot up my iMac

    Although there may be other underlying reasons why your iMac is experiencing longer boot times, I found that the OS X 10.10.1 update did improve my boot times substantially.

  • Provisioning Windows Server 2012 R2 takes long time

    I created a simple bluerpint with one Windows Server 2012 R2 machine and using Linked Clone deployment in vCAC. The entire provisioning process is taking a very long time (> 1 hour). It looks like most of the time is spent in CustomizeOS work flow step. What could be the issue? I didn't find any logs to figure out where it's spending time. Can you help me fix this issue?

    Yes--it does take way more time than it did before to load! The program has to load a lot of stuff. I get nervous when I see the "loading the iTunes library" box with a cursor crawling slowly across the screen--I'm very concerned that something's going to crash. And then...????

  • Mcbook Pro (2009) freezing all the time. Bootcamp windows works perfectly...

    Hi,
    I'm very confused.
    I've had my macbook pro for 2 years now, with bootcamp Windows installed for almost that long without a problem.
    As of today my macbook keeps locking up everytime I click on an application or click my mouse on something. It freezes with any action and stays busy for about a minute before doing all my commands.
    The problem is, my Windows 7 works perfectly fine! Which means, unlike the other people posting here about their freezing macs, it's NOT a hardware issue!
    I installed Lion about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure what's going on. I don't really know what to do. I'll do some cleanups and everything, and post a little later.

    Do you have FileVault enabled or a Mac with a "Fusion" drive?
    It appears to be trying to boot into Safe Mode, but fails. I've seen Safe mode fail for the above reasons.
    Can you boot into Recovery? OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if so, try repairing the disk. http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/08/repair-boot-disk-mac-os-x-disk-utilit/

    hi,
    If you discover significant high frontend time, check whether the formatting is the reason. If so, either switch it off or reduce the result lines.
    As formatting information is not transferred, the time consumed in the frontend can be reduced.
    But the workbook you are executing may obviously take much time.

  • The Application Takes long time to Start

    Hello All,
    We ar eon Unix->64 Bit-> Essbase 11.1.1.3.
    Problem Description : The application is taking long to start up. around 5 to 6 minutes. This is very first time it is happening.
    There were no specific changes done to the application in the recent releases.
    I have tried all options 1. Compacating outline, 2. Purging the application log etc. all other applications respond good on this host except this. Usually any application should not take more than 1 to 2 minutes to start up.
    There are no specific errors or XCP files recorded in the logs and folders.
    Appreciate your suggestions

This is an ASO application and has just 7 dimensions, Out of which the ORGANIZATION Dimension is pretty huge with Multiple Hierarchies enabled ( Both Stored and Dynamic ) and has more than 20,00,000 members including the alternate hierarchies ( Shared members)
    I did a smoke test by building dimension by dimension the app was startiung up in just *40* seconds. and when i reached the ORG dimension and added more than 70,000 memebrs . there i fall sick. the app now gets back to its old issue ( Takes more than 10 mainutes to start).
    CPU Usage ranges between 3.1 % to 4 %
    PID USER NLWP PRI NI VSZ RSS S STIME ELAPSED %CPU COMMAND

  • FireFox is the best internet navigator so far, but starting from this date of July 16th 2011, I'm going back to IE and stop using FF as long as I'm still getting 20 to 25 plugin containers in my Windows Task Manager. Goodbye FF.

    I have the "techie" answer for all of you. According to the tier 2 support at Norton Help Desk, the latest live update from Norton "utilizes Visual Studio 2012 which enables SSE2 instructions" and my processor can not handle that.

  • ISight on Bootcamp Windows 7 no longer working

    After upgrading to Lion OS X, my iSight no longer works on Bootcamp Windows 7. It formerly worked under Snow Leopard's Bootcamp Win 7.

    i would believe it might be the limiting of the number of programs during startup.
    do a msconfig and configure it to startup only windows item only. See if this makes any diference

    Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick.  I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally.  I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
    Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again.  I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time.  Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black.  I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
    Hope this helps someone else!

  • My mac pro 13 takes longer than normal to start?

    My mac pro 13 takes longer than normal to start. What do I need to do to speed up the start up process?

    with "normal" are you comparing it to other MacBooks? or to your model in the past?
    installing a SSD would increase the boot up time a lot if you don't have one already...
    also check what apps you have set to automatically open on startup because some/a lot will slow the startup down

  • Bootcamp doesn't start Windows XP anymore

    Hi,
    Several weeks ago, I faced an issue with my bootcamp windows XP partition and my iMac wasn't able to start from it, when I chose from startup screen. So, I decided to try to insert my Windows XP setup CD and launched bootcamp again. I saw the CD icon and was able to choose to boot from it. In fact, it rally booted on it and started the setup process as I thought, proposing me to Repair an exiting installation. That's what I did and it worked very well, as I was able again to start on my Windows XP hard drive partition and work with it.
    Today, I faced the same issue, with the difference that I can't boot from the CD anymore: bootcamp stays frozen on the bootcamp screen.
    Could anybody help, please?
    Thx
    Claudio

    Hi,
    I found some stuff, but it didn't work for me. Maybe you can give it a try.
    1. Deactivate Proxy
    Add or edit javaws.cfg.proxy.setting=NONE in the javaws.cfg file.
    2. Deactivate Splashscreen
    Add option "-Xnosplash" in the Windows registry for the .JNLP ending, i.e. "C:\Program Files\Java Web Start\javaws.exe" "-Xnosplash" "%1"
    3. Run with Java VM
    I created a .BAT file:
    SET JWS=C:/Programme/Java Web Start
    java -cp "%JWS%/javaws.jar" "-Djnlpx.home=%JWS%" com.sun.javaws.Main %1
    To run Java Web Start simply run the .BAT file. To run a specific application run the .BAT file with the complete URL of the .JNLP file.
    If this works for you, please drop a note here! Thanks!
    Bye
