Making MP boot quicker (1 Viewer)

[eetaylog]

So what are everyones services settings in 'Control panel->Computer Management->Administrative Tools'?

Im trying to get MP to boot a bit quicker (currently ~1 minute), and have been playing around with my services settings. bear in mind that i dont use my PC to connect to the internet, so i have turned various internet connection settings off.

what else could i do to speed up the loading time (a big chunk of the time is currently taken up in waiting for TV server connection in the MP splashscreen)?

For HTPC I would recommend to use S3/S4 sleep states. S3 is almost instant.

i cant really use S3 standby because i have a NovaT-500 Tv card and they have issues with reinitialising quick enough when waking up from standby.
