<a name="df406578"></a><b>The LameXP startup (splash screen) takes very long on my system. What can I do?</b><br>
<br>
Starting up LameXP shouldn't take longer than approximately 10 seconds. However it was brought to our<br>
attention that badly optimized anti-virus software can slow down the startup procedure a lot! On our test<br>
system (Windows 7 running on an Intel Core2 Q6600 with 4 GB of RAM) starting up LameXP takes about 3 seconds<br>
without an anti-virus software and about 6 seconds with the "real-time protection" of Microsoft Security<br>
Essentials enabled. With other anti-virus software the startup was delayed up to 20 seconds and more!<br>
During the startup procedure, LameXP has to extract some "helper" files to the TEMP directory. This can take<br>
a few moments. However, this extraction process shouldn't take longer than approximately 10 seconds. On our<br>
test system (Windows 7 running on an old Core2 Q6600 with 4 GB of RAM) starting up LameXP takes ~1.7 seconds.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, it was brought to our attention that poorly optimized anti-virus software might slow down the<br>
startup procedure a lot! As mentioned above, on our test system, the startup procedure takes 1.7 seconds. And<br>
that is with the "real-time protection" of Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) enabled! Without the real-time<br>
scanner, the startup time reduces even further, to less than 0.2 seconds. At the same time, as users have<br>
reported to us, some other anti-virus software can increase the startup delay by as much as 20.0 seconds !!!<br>
<br>
So if you think that LameXP is starting up too slow on your system, you should temporarily(!) disable or<br>
uninstall your current anti-virus program and try again. Usually it should be sufficient to disable only the<br>
"real-time protection", "file system protection" or "guard" feature of your anti-virus software. If it turns<br>
out that the startup is significantly(!) faster WITHOUT the anti-virus software, please report the problem to<br>
the developer of the anti-virus software. And, if they don't fix the problem, switch to a better product!<br><br>
uninstall the "real-time scanner" or "guard" (or whatever it is called) of your current "anti-virus" software<br>
and then try again. If it turns out that the startup of LameXP becomes significantly(!) faster as soon as the<br>
anti-virus software does *not* interfere with the extraction process, then please report the problem to the<br>
developer of the anti-virus software. And, if they don't fix the problem, switch to a better product ;-)<br>
<br>
In short: If LameXP takes very long for starting up, then most likely poor "anti-virus" software is to balme.<br><br>
