Extremely long program startup
Apr 18 2010 | 6:05 pm
Hello,
I'm not quite sure why but Max takes over 5 minutes to start on my computer. M4L in ableton same thing. Once loaded it works fine though. I'm running windows 7 64bit, on an intel dx48bt2 mobo with Q9450 processor. Also using the latest max and ableton versions. Any help on resolving the long startup time would greatly be appreciated as I've yet to find any info on the net about it.

Seems like usually, these long startups are due to Max working out all the folder search paths.There'll be a fresh Prefs folder created (with defaults) the next time you launch Max. If by chance there are special Prefs you want to save, look through the folder and copy the relevant files... not sure which ones, in your case.

On windows 7 64bit I deleleted C:UserswrongAppDataRoamingCycling '74I tried reinstalling after deleting the preferences and still 10-12 minutes to start the program. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
