Takes forever to load/exit a game very annoying
I'm wondering if its just my system that does this, or if that's just the way 3d vision works. Every time I load a game (pretty much any game I try) it can take as long as 2 minutes before my computer responds and the game starts. During this period, my screen is black, I get no sound, and like I say my computer doesnt respond to any input. Games work fine when they do finally load up, but when exiting them I get this same sort of unresponsiveness for another couple minutes before I can get to my desktop.

Its not a huge issue I suppose but if I could somehow avoid it, that would be great.

I have a similar issue when I alt-tab out of a game if I have aero turned on. Use Game Booster or manually turn off aero effects and see if that helps.
