Yes. I shut down my laptop after I installed. I'm on it now but it has no sound but I heard that was also because of nVidia.
But regarding to getting pass the post boot up screen it actually didn't take very long but maybe can that be I let the laptop sit for six hours-ish before turning back on. I usually have to wait hours though before turning the laptop on. If I consecutively turn it off and on it will never get pass the post boot up screen.
I didn't post this earlier but should I post my specs or do you have enough you needed to know?
Also, I found this program '
Driver Genius Professional Edition' on my laptop just now and scanned my laptop and it said three
drivers are out of date, but sadly it will not update for me. :P
But I just updated my 'nVidia GeForce 7150 / nForce 630M'
The other two needing to be updated is my wireless card and Bluetooth which I presume has nothing to do with my problem?
