    Dear Folks,

    I've done a clean install Win7-Ult on my Crucial M4. I've followed the guide on the Wiki...boots really fast <20 seconds.

    However, after installing the USB3 driver Dell R299115.exe it takes about 2 minutes to boot up.

    I have uninstalled this and continued to install the other drivers - can anyone offer help on the USB3 matter?

    ANDREW
