I installed Windows 7 Ultimate, runs great and everything, but when I boot into through bootcamp, it takes anywhere from 1-2.5 minutes to get to the "Starting Windows" logo.. Not sure why this is happening.. But when I am running Mac OSX, I start up VMware Fusion 3... I starts up right away... hrmm

Also, Installed COD World at War, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2... Both get a Direct X error... but doesnt tell you what error it is, so you can research it.. Call of Duty 4 runs fine...

Anyone has any ideas, let me know!

I have the exact same issue, I have Win7 Ultimate running through BootCamp but it's annoying how when I boot, it stays on a blank screen flashing '_' for about 2 minutes before getting to the Windows screen. I hope someone knows a solution for this!

Are you using an MBP, too?

I can say the issue doesn't occur for some other Macs I've used.

Does it write a error log or do a crash dump?

Try installing the latest nVidia drivers and the latest Directx Runtime.

Make sure you uninstall your old video card drivers first.

Yeah I have a MBP mid 09 model. I already have the latest nvidia drivers and directx runtime. Nothing is wrong with it, no error logs etc, it just takes long to load up and is kind of annoying. Any other suggestions?

That's a bios hack. It literally means you pirated Windows 7. If you have a bought/legal version, it shouldn't do it. It doesn't happen on mine.
