Default 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.

I believe that you had to disable the NV driver helper service. 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.

It's probably a BIOS problem. Check out the thread "GeForce3 Ti200 &
Forceware 53.03 possible w/ stability?"

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.
