I played with it some more today, and I left my task manager open while
trying to start the application. The CPU reaches 100% and stays there until
the message box with the error pops up, so it probably is taking too long
to start. I'm going to try a few things to see if I can optimize the
startup to get it under 2.5 seconds. Is there a parameter I can tweak in an
..ini file to lengthen the timeout value?

Ron.
