I'm using Max/MSP 6.0 on a fairly powerful Lennovo W500 laptop with 4gb of RAM running XP professional. Sometimes it can take as long as 10 minutes for Max to start once I click on the icon. I can't imagine this is normal. Nothing else takes this long to start. Any ideas what may be wrong ? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks !

longggggg-start-up-times

I have also experienced very long start up times with max but never this long. Someone once said to me that it's just loading up a lot of goodness which made it easier to deal with but didn't shorten the startup time. I did find however that if I force quit max while it is loading and then restart it, it would load much faster. Also I noticed that it only takes this long the first time after turning my computer on, so now I just leave it running due to my impatient nature and I've found that I don't have to wait so long.

Longggggg start-up times ?
