    Bootvis won't Trace on my e1405

    Has anyone else tried running Bootvis on their recent model Dell? I just got mine and I get a perfvis performance tool error when Bootvis seems to be ending Trace w/ driver delays. Because of this error I cannot take advantage of Bootvis.

    I have figured an app like this that has been discontinued for so long would have compatibility issues, however it seems that in general people still use it without issues. I have not been able to find any information about what systems Bootvis won't work on (except for possibly processors w/ hyperthreading, which is not applicable here).

    Can anyone answer me if Bootvis should work or shouldn't on my system and why, any ways around the problem, or alternative applications that do about the same thing as Bootvis?

    Check out diskeeper pro for some help on a software that wasn't abandonned for causing serious problems on systems =P
    It has a few features that work very similar to what bootvis did, when it worked..
