Anyone knows how to make the new nvidia drivers stop doing stupid things?

like: since i installed it the system takes twice the time to load and it displays a stupid message saying that the SLI interpretation of my configuration has been automatically changed to use just one card... which is lucky because i just have one 6800 and not the intention to run on sli on the next couple of years...

the fact that i run two monitors on the same card might be the culprit, but the drivers i ran before didnt had that slightly-less-than-brilliant behavior incorporated... not to mention the lame new control panel...
