Hi thunderwolf

Glad that sorted your driver problem, I wouldnt worry too much about the boot time
unless its excessivly slow, to help speed up PC and boot times:

Remove any unwanted/unused programs:
Many of these programs are running active background processes that launch
every time you push the power button. This doesn't just slow down your startup,
it chews up RAM and drags down the overall performance of your PC.

To get a full list of installed software:

Start > computer > uninstall or change a program

If you find programs that you're not using, uninstall them.

Also to see what Startup programs are starting at startup.
The easiest, but one I personally do not recommend, is to
delete unwanted startup items via msconfig.

Start > type into search > msconfig and press return
Click on the startup tab and deselect any program you do not want to start
up at boot, click apply and reboot.

Control Panel - Add or Remove "System Configuration" (msconfig)

But the best way to do this is via registry edit (but care has to be taken)

Follow method 4:

Startup Programs - Change

Start > type into search box > run and press return
then type in regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

Simply delete the entry you no longer wish to start up and Reboot.

Please mark this thread solved if you think your issue has been resolved :) thanks

Hope this helps
