Windows 7 Ultimate hangs bad, and Direct X Error on COD:WaW/MW2

[BSchorr]

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.

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.
