same repairs takes longer on other pc!

<< < (3/3)

Willy2:
- The new programcode (from e.g. v2.10) skips one file (on a XP system) that takes a LONG time to register.
- Reseting file permissions requires Windows to access the NTFS' MFT for each file. In that regard the disk I/O (which is comparatively slow) is certainly a bottleneck. And the faster the disk (in rpm) the faster WR will run.
- "Repair WMI" requires WR to search the entire disk for 2 particular type of files and that also takes A LOT OF time.

What is the total amount of files on both XP systems ? What's the size of the registry ?

Other suggestions:
- Defragment & optimize your disk & registry every say week. Defragmentation on a XP system will compact the files as much as possible and that should reduce disk I/O time.

Shane:
Less commands are done on the XP system so that will contribute to the time, and the speed of the drive makes a big difference as well.

It is a repair tool, not an optimizer. So as long as the repairs are working I am happy with it :-)

OK.Willy2 & Shane.'ll See what I can do!  :smiley:

Willy2:
@Shane: I know WR is a repair tool. For optimizing one's system one must use other programs. Or if one is familiar with MS DOS commands then one can write a batchfile with all the appropriate commands.
