Lag on "Welcome..." Screen
Hi all,
Newly registered here as im having some issues with a recent 7 upgrade!
Now i had been using a fresh copy of 7 RC on my Acer Netbook for a while, everything working great, and i really liked the speed/interface. So, i decided i should go ahead and upgrade my home PC to 7 RC as well.
Upgrade went fine, took a fair while but i thought that was to be expected due to the mass amount of programs i have installed lol Anyway, booted up, everything as far as i can see working good.
Now, after installing, i upgraded my nVidia drivers for my 8600GT to the latest from their site. This was a massive fail as it seemed to remove the 1440x900 resolution of my monitor! Anywho, cut a long story short, i had to revert back to 182.50 drivers to get things working correctly.
Right, well thats pretty much the background info covered i think, heres my problem;
Windows 7 loads up fine, i put in my password, to which it then sits on the "Welcome..." screen for a good minute before then giving me my desktop! While its just sitting on that screen, there is no disk activity and the PC seems to be doing naff all. As soon as it does perk up and think about doing something, the disk goes nuts and away we have my desktop!
Now, this never used to happen on Vista, it did occationally take a little longer than usual, but like 20 secs max.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Matty
