I did think it might be a cache, but not in this case. If I restart the computer, log in as the standard user then right click and start the app in administrator mode it starts immediately. If I then close the app and re-launch it using the normal double click it takes forever to load, so it doesnt look like a cache, its genuinely a LOT faster when an app is started with admin rights, or slower when run as a standard user.
It should be a really simple test as the most basic of livecode apps do it for me on all my three Windows computers. In admin mode, on a mac or linux everything is fast, but on a standard user account on Windows 7 there is a definite, and substantial start delay! I was hoping it might be something simple, but maybe not. Andy On 7 Feb 2012, at 17:25, Bob Sneidar wrote: > That may be a bit of a misnomer.
