Slow windows 7 boot

Hello all

I got a Macbook Air with freshly installed Windows 7. It's the newest model with Intel Core i5 and Intel HD Graphics.

I got a problem with the much worse boot time with the graphic's drivers installed.

During boot with the drivers, the glowing windows logo just freezes for about 15 seconds, and full boot time is 45 seconds.

Boot without graphics drivers installed takes about 30 seconds.

Any ideas?

Where did you download the driver that you are using? Have you tried using a different version?

Please be aware that Apple system are out of our scope of support, so I'd recommend checking with the Apple community to see if similar problems have been encountered.

The driver was downloaded with Apple Bootcamp Assistant ( so as other drivers ).

I've tried the one from Windows Update and newest from Intel site ( I think they're the same ) - nothing changed.
