18 March 2010, 12:00 am

You might have noticed, when Windows 7 is installed on your computer, it performs pretty well for certain time, but gradually as you keep on installing different applications and fonts, you face some Windows related error; like, no boot, slow boot, blue-screen, sluggish performance and many others. All these problems have a common root and they arise due to or corrupted start up.

Features

To repair Startup of Windows 7, Microsoft has introduced a noble feature "Windows 7 Start up Repair", which can instantly diagnose these types of problems. Although this utility activates on its own, whenever a Start up issues surface, but sometimes when the problem is severe, you may need to activate it from System Recovery Options menu located on your hard disk. But if you are not able to start your computer, boot your computer with Windows 7 installation disc or any system repair disc, which you have created earlier.

Next, your Windows 7 Start up may be corrupted due to a virus infection.  You can perform a full virus scan with the installed antivirus or any online virus scanner.

If Windows Start up is taking a longer time, than earlier, then check the program loaded in the Startup. This can be done as "Start," type "msconfig" in the "Search programs and files field," and press Enter. You can remove unwanted programs, if any. This will create extra space on your hard disk memory.

Usability

Repair of your Windows 7 Start up will optimize your computer's performance without any investment. There are lots of freeware software available in the market, which can be deployed to scan and delete viruses from your computer. It is easy to do and can be performed well, without requiring much  computer proficiency. Consistent monitoring of Windows Start up keeps your computer away from a list of issues, like slow boot, computer freezing and Blue-Screen error.

Limitation

You can't fix hardware issues and Windows installation problems with the Startup Repair option of Windows 7 installation disc. Moreover, some of the startup issues are related to hardware configuration of your computer, so you can't use Startup Repair for it.

Recommendation

You should create a system repair disc for your Windows 7 computer, which is extremely useful to repair Startup issue, when you are not able to access "System recovery options" or the computer doesn't boot at all. You should ALSO equip your computer with a compatible antivirus program to prevent any entry of computer viruses. If it happens frequently then most probably, you need to do a upgrade of your RAM (Random Access Memory).
