Boot delay with Det 45.23
Hi,
I'm sure this problem has been done to death here, but I've been away from the group for a long while and missed it. I've just installed Dets 45.23 on my computer running Windows 2000 and now it takes an age to boot. When 45.23 first came out, did anybody find a way around the problem? Failing that, which version is now generally considered the most reliable. Cheers, Paul. |

Use MSCONFIG or Administrative Tools to nix the service. On my GF3TI200, any official driver release from 45.23 all the way to 53.03 has been rock solid. |

Thanks to both you and QV for the good advice. Something else I can't remember: where is a safe place to get 53.03 without the risk of it having been tampered with? Cheers, Paul. |
