ATI Catalyst extending real boot time by about 3-4 minutes.
I know how to take care of my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate partition when I use it. I use CCleaner Professional to manage my Startup programs. Everything goes as smoothly as it can with my 8 core 4000mhz AMD-FX8350 with 12gb of 1866mhz Corsair ram.
But startup isn't really over and disk activity will continue until the darn ATI Catalyst icon in the systray appears, which is about 3-4 minutes after all other icons have appeared and I can start applications and do stuff basically, but if I am to start something extensive, better wait for it. Yes it is the latest version, updated like last week, it's the very latest driver and catalyst control program for my AMD Radeon HD 7850 5GBDDR3. I know I can't really remove the program.
Does other AMD video card owners here have this problem? It's really a bane in my otherwise, perfectly running, spyware, virus-free, registry that's being cleaned up every other day and my browsers (although I only use Waterfox (64 bit Firefox), I use Opera or IE11 in case of issues with Firefox extensions but that's rare.
