[QUOTE="skallal, post: 1567952, member: 268318"] chscag: I managed to fix the lag. The solution was going into the Control Panel uninstall programs, selecting Boot Camp Services, and clicking Repair. But I'm not sure if the repair is entirely what fixed it. First of all I tried different Nvidia drivers, but they wouldn't install. And I did the same for the Intel graphics HD 4000 drivers, and again they wouldn't install either. Yesterday day I downloaded the latest 5.1 Boot Camp drivers from Apple, which is the version I did the repair with. For one, the control panel did not give an option to uninstall the Boot Camp Services. I find that odd. Also I don't know if the repair would have worked if I had not attempted to install the other drivers mentioned above first. Also I find it odd that I can't use the Intel HD 4000 drivers. Under OS X that is the low-power device to use. It would be nice if I had the option to use both video devices under Boot Camp. Bottom line: the repair mentioned above did seem to do the trick. But only if I could optionally use the Intel integrated video also, that would be nice. Also it didn't reduce the boot time. That is probably a side effect of the Boot Camp pseudo MBR partition scheme. [/QUOTE]
