Introducing Startup Faster! 2004
Top Next

Startup Faster! 2004 is a revolutionary tool that makes your computer startup much faster; it even protects your hard disk from sudden failures. Even top-speed computers endure a long startup time when loading Windows; Startup Faster! 2004 completely solves the problem of long Windows startups.

What benefits can you get from Startup Faster! 2004?

As you may know, Windows runs various programs upon startup. Though many of these programs are necessary, sometimes programs are added to your startup list without your knowledge. The excess of programs (sometimes more than 30) upon startup creates a long loading period-even on a fast computer! This problem has existed since Windows 3.1, but Microsoft hasn't solved the problem, even though many users have complained about the long loading period, the noise from the hard drive, and the fact that you can't even do anything when Windows is loading the "startup programs" in you "Startup" groups and registries.

The reason for the slow startup is that Windows loads all the programs one time-meaning that 20-30 programs are running at the same time! That's why your top-speed computer appears very slow.

Startup Faster! 2004 is specially designed to completely solve this startup problem. Startup Faster! 2004 uses a unique technology called "SmartBoot" to speed up the startup process. Startup Faster! 2004 optimizes your boot sequence by changing execution times and disk load. It controls Windows loading and makes great improvements! In our thousands of tests, Startup Faster! 2004 can speed up your loading speed by 50% to 200%!

Startup Faster! 2004 also provides you with a powerful control panel that enables you to control all your startup options, including adjustments of execution sequences, enabling/disabling of certain programs, etc. Even if you don't have much computer knowledge, you can easily control your Windows startup. Startup Faster! 2004 works well on most PCs-even when they are in default configuration settings.


Why Startup Faster! 2004?

Save time

Startup Faster! 2004 greatly reduces the loading time of Windows; it saves you a lot of time every time you restart. Even if you are using a slow machine, you will find your computer is performing at least 5 times faster.

Protect your hard disk

You may not know this, but mass "read and writes" of hard disks over short periods of time can do great harm to hard disks; that's why some hard disks work for less than one year. If you install programs on your disk often and your startup list is filling up with programs, you may cause the hard disk to run beyond its' capacity. Startup Faster! 2004 effectively reduces the loads of hard disks, as well as reduces the noise made by hard disks. Try Startup Faster! 2004 once and you will notice the difference!

Manage the startup list

You can't control the execution order of the startup programs unless you use Startup Faster! 2004. Your startup order is really important in some cases, since some programs depend on other programs. If the independent programs are not fully loaded, the dependent programs can't run either. There's also another common problem: some programs leave "dead" links in startup groups and registries, even if the programs were uninstalled. Startup Faster! 2004 can find and remove these dead links. You can also manually remove or add any program to your startup list. With Startup Faster! 2004 you take full control.

It can be fun!
