recently my games starting loading slow. the game itself runs fine, but when i execute it it just sits there for like 30 seconds before the screen turns black and the game splash screen appears.

i think it's the case with all 3D games... Battlefield 2, Crysis, and Doom 3. my system specs are fine... I recently upgraded to 8800GT and I'm thinking that's what's causing this problem

does anyone else experience this and how do I fix it? thanks.

And clean your Prefetch folder - let Windows rebuild it, and let it create a new Layout.ini file.
