Thanks for the replies guys...
Dave: I documented the timeline in an Excel spreadhseet but I might have forgotten to save it as I can't find it anywhere now...Doh!
From memory the Splash screen appears fairly quickly after the app icon is double clicked and shows Not Responding throughout the various stages - MyLog, NavData, Optimising Flight Data but not sure if it shows constantly...I can take another look.
Have not run it for a few days now as I need the undivided attention of my PC as I am doing some work instead of playing for a change! :-)
Running PP and at least can use my machine...
Jannuh: That's a big database! How many aircraft in there FFS?
Obviously not a database size issue then...
I can start MyLog within a few seconds also but if I try to use the filter I click on the relevant box and then have to wait for a while until I can select an entry or type in the box. Sometimes even the simple task of scrolling down the list using the scroll bar sees it moving in short, sharp jerky movements with the mouse pointer showing the sleepy/busy icon...
If mine runs without rebooting for a week or two my menus stop working somewhere along the line. I guess your menus are OK even with 2-3 weeks uptime?
Thanks & kind regards,
