| 152873 | 2003-06-18 00:56:00 | "Some people have noticed that they are experiencing a really slow shutdown after installing Windows XP Home or Professional. Although this can be caused a number of ways, the most clear cut one so far is happening on systems with an NVidia card installed with the latest set of drivers. A service called NVIDIA Driver Helper Service is loading up on start up and for whatever reason doesn't shut itself down properly. The service isn't needed and can also increase the amount of memory available to your system. Here is how to disable it. 1: Go into your Control Panel 2: Select Administrative Tools and then click on Services 3: Right click on the file "NVIDIA Driver Helper Service" and then select STOP. 4: To stop this loading up every time you boot up your PC Right click it again and select properties - then where the option "Startup Type" is shown - make sure it is set at Manual." Hope it helps.. |

| 152875 | 2003-06-18 06:10:00 | Thanks for your help, everyone. Hibernation: Stu and Cicero, thanks for the tip about the Shift Key - it works. But why does XP omit this vital information from the otherwise excellent Help, I wonder? Slow Shutdown: Thanks Weezer. NVIDIA Driver Helper Service was already stopped (ie it was greyed out so I couldn't select it) but I changed the other setting from Automatic to Manual. It seems to have made some difference, but I still think my shutdown is too slow - it should be more or less immediate, like other computers I use. |

| 152878 | 2003-06-18 07:35:00 | hi guys u are all referring to NVIDA graphics card, can i also make this suggestion too? previously before MS update the new patch Q811493, have u deleted that and reinstall the new one? i think it might be that.. because i really don't think a new machine will get slow close down especially with those graphics card... i got NVIDA here myself and it works for me... i didn't do anything and it is closing really fast when i shut down |
