Since accepting a new Nvidia driver during a recent Windows Update my PC has been booting soooooooooo sloooooooow; same when changing users!

At first we thought it was crashing but it does eventually load windows. Having finally isolated the problem I think it is the new vidio driver. (Trouble shooting included deleting drivers and booting at normal speed without them).

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a cure out there?

Anytime I update my Video drivers, I like to reinstall direct x. If that does not work, I'd try to go back a version on the drivers.
