Hi Folks,

I have been experiencing long delays when launching POV for windows, it
take anywhere from 30 seconds to 90 seconds before it has "loaded" and
is ready to use. 

During this time there is lots of HD activity (scratching).

The HD's are regularly defragged.

For what it's worth, I have Win 2000, 1 gigahertz, 512k ram, plenty of
disk space.

This happens with and without scenes loaded and is usually on first
launch after being closed for a while, subsequent loads are quick.

What does POV do on startup that would explain all this scratching?

Thanks
