PI takes more than 30 seconds to start up

[Nocturnal]

Hi,

on one of my systems, a laptop with Win XP Pro with a 2G Centrino Duo it takes about 30 seconds before the PI splash screen appears. I'm pretty sure it used to start up faster than that. What could it be doing? Does it query previous files and possibly time out on ones that aren't accessible?

Sander,

I'm getting exactly the same behaviour since installing the latest version. For info I'm using Vista 32bit on a dual core laptop with 4Gb ram.

Hi Simon,

I just noticed I'm not quite using the most recent version on this laptop. I don't use PI too often on this system. On my 'regular' box it starts fine.

Thanks for responding

Sander,

Do you still experience this behavior with the latest version (1.5.9.561)?

Hi Juan,

on my laptop it takes a bit long to start but it's not very fast (Centrino Duo 1.6G) so that's reasonable. On my Vista x64 machine there's no problem. I'll keep an eye on it but there's no urgent issue here.

Juan,

I'm using the latest version on a Win Vista 32 bit machine with 4Gb ram. It just took 53 seconds to start up with nothing else running except Internet Explorer (i.e. this forum). I'm sure sometimes it takes longer than this. Its only with the latest version that I have noticed this.

Cheers
