Windows 7 sitting on the welcome screen for too long

[_Jimlad_]

oh the joys of upgrading to win7!

my laptop was trouble free but my shuttle is being a pain!

my pc sits on the "O Welcome screen" for ages when logging in either on the network or off the network, i only have nod32, as a non windows proggy loading at startup. It was fine on Vista

by google'ing i have found it could be the nforce drivers, however the windows ones seem to be the only ones! when i download the nforce drivers from the nvid site it says it's for

Windows 7 64-bit Driver Versions:

•GPU Driver (v185.85) WHQL
•Ethernet Driver (v73.06) WHQL
•Network Management Tools (v73.05) "Sedona"
•SATAIDE Driver (v11.1.0.23) WHQL
•SATARAID Driver (v11.1.0.23) WHQL
•RAIDTOOL Application (v11.1.0.23)
•SMU Driver (v1.67) WHQL
•Installer (v7.01)

however when i run the installer it says it will only install

•SMU Driver (v1.67) WHQL

Can you install the devices manually - through device manager and then navigate to the driver in the C:\nVidia\packagename folder.

This would cover everything except the network management tools (which I would not install) and the RAIDtool which you would only need if you have a RAID array setup for status, rebuilding, diagnostics etc.

just tried that but it says there is nothing to be added. just seems to hang for around 20 seconds before letting me in

I had this problem with an nVidia based machine, but the driver I had probs with was the SMBus one :s

I just chose an older version from the nVidia site extracted the drivers and manually installed them. Are you trying to install them through Device Manager - Update driver, Browse My Computer, then navigating to the respective folder in C:\nVidia\xxx\ and getting this message?

Not much help I know but I had the same problems trying to install the 64bit version on my lappy. Reverted to win 32 version as couldn't be bothered to find the cause. Was quite weird... Does it sound like it's searching from the disk too?

FIXED!! i created a new profile and then there was no issue what so ever, i think i must have buiggered it when i copied files over from vista... you know the hidden ones and so on!
