same repairs takes longer on other pc!

(1/3) > >>

Gamezertruth:
I have tested your program on two different systems, and found that the problem of the same program and not from my laptop or from low RAM!

So Here's the deal: I am right now, use another computer and another Windows system and the size of RAM is 4 giga However your program takes longer on other pc than the time it takes for my computer....

Shane:
As I have said before, the speed of the repairs is totally up to the speed of the CPU and the speed of the hard drive. Also When doing the permissions repair for the files it matters on those 2 plus the number of files. :wink:

This is a new laptop I'm on! Everything is fast memory and hard drives are so fast Is there anything wrong?

And I'm sure it's not a problem of memory or hard drives! Keep it fast!

It should improve some repair and make it run a little faster

- Did you disable your AV ?
- I am familiar with the program code. Repairs #1, 2 & 4 simply take a A LOT OF time. Especially the "C:\windows" folder and the horrible subfolder "winsxs" contain A LOT OF subfolders & files.
- Perhaps repair could be improved. Just let the user select from which folder he/she wants to reset the file permissions of. Some AV programs have a similar approach. There the user can select between "Fast Scan", "Complete scan" and a "User defined scan".
- Do you have a Vista or Win 7 laptop on which you installed later a separate Service Pack ? Then you can reduce the amount of files in the "Winsxs" sub-folder.

WARNING: Think twice if you REALLy want to "touch" that "Winsxs" subfolder !!!! When in doubt, DON'T DO IT !!!

Shane:
The repair program writes out all the repairs to bat files and then windows runs them from there. So there is no way to slow or speed up the repairs.

What is the cpu speed on the new system vs the old?

And if your AV is enabled that can use up more cpu as well since it is scanning everything.
