Why slow startup loading (55 secs)

[berniectl]

Have you had any feedback on LabView 7.0 regarding "slow startup loading" or "slow shutdown"? When I click my icon to start LV 7.0 it takes several seconds (55) to get to the first screen and another 40 seconds to get to the second one. On exiting, the program it normally enters a "not responding" mode. While in the program, it appears to operate normally.

What's your Processor speed, Operating System, & amount of RAM? Are other complicated programs sluggish? Are you running a virus scanner?

Intel Pentium III at 697 MHz, 256 MB RAM. No other programs are sluggish, including LabView 6.1 when it runs. Virus scanner is not running.

That should be more than enough. I'm not sure how many others have kept 6.1 on with a LV 7 install (there have been a few smatterings of install issues w/ LV 7, most notably w/ network installs). If I was the one dealing with it, I'd uninstall all Labview programs from all versions and do a clean LV 7 install and see if that fixes it (with the idea being that if it doesn't, I'd do a format c:, reinstall the OS and then LV 7, but I like to minimize variables when dealing with it). If you are working in XP or Win2k, you can monitor how much memory is being allocated to LV 7 and how much is free, just to see if that's an issue (ctrl-alt-del and use the Task Manager).

I have both on my system (P-4 , 1500 MHz).
LV 7 starts up in about 6 seconds.

I have issues with what happens when I double click on an LLB file, but no startup issues.

Very helpful suggestions. I have used the Task Manager to monitor the startup and have not observed anything unusual. It may require pulling the plug and starting over. Thanks again.
