Hi,

I once benefited greatly from Speed Startup in its trial form. It is a great and easy-to-use program and made my computer's boot-up process much more enjoyable and faster!

Recently, the trial version of Speed Startup has not been working. As soon as I click on the shortcut to run the program, it starts up but immediately gets stuck as "Not Responding".

I can see the Speed Startup Assistant window, but it's blank. I can't see any text. Sometimes I can see the Speed Startup interface itself, but that too is blank. I can only see its outline. I can see the "Scan" button, but if I manage to click on it, nothing happens!

If I select "Close Program" via Windows Explorer, Windows searches for a solution, but then the window for that closes down without any resolution.

As I said, this program used to run without any issues immediately whenever I started it. It would seem to freeze up briefly while performing the tasks, but would usually move on to the next step in the process in a short time, and the process was always completed. Now, the program will not run at all.

Is anyone having the same issues? This started very suddenly so I suspect that it may be due to an issue with a recent Windows Vista update.

Hope to hear from you soon.

   As I told you before by email, it sounds to me like there may be something on your computer that is denying access to Speed Startup.  I have never heard of that problem before.  We'll see if anyone has any suggestions.

Yes. I was hoping to pick other people's brains.
