If Windows isn't doing anything when I run VRPC I find ArtWorks loads in less than 2 seconds. If however I'm playing CD's using Windows Media Player, ArtWorks takes about 10 seconds to load pausing at the banner screen - quitting ArtWorks and reloading it takes less than 2 seconds to load. Is Windows running anything (virus-checker, etc.)?
