RapidBoot Fails on Unsigned Driver

[quantensprung]

I recently installed a new AV scanner (Bitdefender) instead of MSE, and suddenly the fingerprint reader of my X200 plus USB keyboard and mouse require around 60 second to initialise at the logon screen when rebooting Windows. That means, I have to wait 60 second before I can use the fingerprint reader, mouse or keyboard. This problem does not occur when doing a cold boot.

I rolled back the AV installation completely, but the problem still persists. I uninstalled RapidBoot 1.20 and the problem goes away. But reinstalling to version 1.23 and the problem comes back. Any ideas?

My suggestion is to uninstall RapidBoot.  It doesn't work.

Do you by any chance use Constant Guard Protection from Comcast? I occasionally have this problem, The system hangs after I open it and before i login. I suspevcct its a security problem and in my case I am 90% sure it is from Comcast software and the the Norton antivirus the came with it.

Lenovo people:

What do you think?

It is the year 2013, and I am trying to find a solution to this issue with a W520. I tried following the link on page 4 to download RapidBoot 1.23, but it is not showing me any itmes.

I am located in Canada. I would like to know where I can find this software. I will completely uninstall RapidBoot for the user for the time being. Thanks for any help.

RapidBoot Shield has been withdrawn.  Please uninstall it and move on.  Sorry for this inconvenience.

I see! That's the easiest fix ever! Good to know.
