Introduction

Instant Boot, a user-friendly tool that allows you to turn on your PC in just a

few seconds, provides a much more efficient way to save energy, time,

money, and improves system running speed for your system *. It is

applicable to Windows

7 / 7 64-bit / Vista™ / Vista™ 64-bit / XP / XP 64-bit.

Instant Boot leverages the S3 and S4 ACPI (Advanced Configuration and

Power Interface) features which normally enable the Sleep/Standby and

Hibernation modes in Windows

to shorten boot up time. By calling S3 and

S4 at specific timing during the shutdown and startup process, Instant Boot

allows you to enter your Windows

desktop in a few seconds.

There are two modes of Instant Boot available: Fast Mode and Regular

Mode. In Fast Mode, it uses S3 and takes only a few seconds for OS to

resume to working state, which is 10 times faster than traditional boot up

time (50 to 60 seconds). Even the Regular Mode is 3 times faster than

traditional boot up time.

Instant Boot guarantees a clean Windows

boot to consume less power,

time and money without any accumulated garbage data, and you can still

keep your data safe even there is a power cut. Also, the Windows

update

speed will become faster.

* This function is applicable ONLY to single user that does not secure ID and Password

to their systems.

* The boot up time depends on the hardware configuration.
