Have you tried reinstalling the drivers. I have a 1210 xi and have not
had any problems.

I also didn't install all their software, just the drivers but when I
did install everything I didn't have any problems.

It might be conflicting with something else that is loading on boot.

Good luck

Are you certain that it is the 1210 that is causing the delay? I ask
because the Symantec utilities have a bug in one version which creates
a 90 second delay after Windows is done loading but before full
functionality (and the Windows opening chord) appears. There is a fix
available.
