Bootvis and T41P

#1 Post by akhavan » Sun Dec 11, 2005 4:53 am

Hi,

The other day I upgraded my T41p to window SP2. Now when I run Bootvis the program no longer works. When it wants to write traces it would no longer respond. Can somebody confirm that Bootvis works with window SP2.

I have Windows XP SP2 and Bootvis runs fine. Does it just "not work"? or is there a period where it tries to do something and can't?

Hi,

It initally runs then boots but when it tries to write traces so that I can optimize my system it hangs. Window tells me Bootvis has generated errors. Have not done anything except upgrading to window SP2 and installed Norton 2006 from 2005 (I disabled the Norton but made no difference)

Have you tried unistalling and then re-installing Bootvis? Microsoft Bootvis v1.3.37 is what I have, it could be that older versions of Bootvis conflict with Windows XP SP2.

Hi,

I have Bootvis 1.3.36 build 2600. Can you give me the link for v1.3.37 please. Also, how can you uninstall it?

From the readme:
Removing Microsoft Bootvis
To remove Bootvis, re-run the bootvis.msi installation program and choose the Remove option. Alternatively, you may remove Microsoft Bootvis from the Add/Remove programs Control Panel Applet.
I'd read as much as I could (MS white paper on it) and go from there. I have used the older version with SP2.

Thanks

I found v1.3.37 and install it. But again I got error message. I get it when Bootvis is trying to write the traces after the first bootup. The trace is for optimization purpose. The first error was that Bootvis is trying to use a memory and that had created problem.

Then when I tried to start the Bootvis again I got this message
"Turn on Tracing using bootvis - on switch before saving to a file get further help by bootvis-? in help section"

OK does this make sense to anybody?
I uninstalled and reinstalled but the same error and message!
