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 like we have shown in the image below. |
