As can be seen above, starting up takes extremely long (67 secs) from double clicking to dissapearing from the about dialog... This one was introduced after i had to renew my membership (was a yearly membership and i went to the "plus" package".

Yep!

Look at queue .. maybe empty it, restart and re-add. Use exported nzb/import if you can.
Switch off all logs you can.
Switch off auto-connects and disable any timed downloads

Anything ?

Thnx Bags, been there, donme that, re-install, switched off everything, switched on everything, cleared all again an again and again....

Just tried again...1:30 mins just to get rid of the startup window... It seems to me that it takes about forever to get me validated through the new package-settings i "bought" (sorry, don't know exactly how to explain the last word...not native english

)

The problem also started after switching from the one-year license to the new licensing system....

But thanx, any help is appreciated!

Hi. No problem.

Start-up window? Splash Screen? Try turning that OFF too (in Settings/Adv)
... launch .. show splash screen = false

What Windows are you running (OS?)?
Does the log say anything (if it's still recording everything)?
Can you see the Info Screen and refresh it (Left side of Log/News screen)?
How big is queue? In Gb Approx?

Back later.

Ok, bags, in short:

Haven't tried turning the splash off before (good point though)

Third try:

21:29:33 Auto clicking the "Connect" button. This feature can be turned off from the settings dialog.

As you can see, logging keeps working, it takes 1 min less to start up but i get a message in the window header bar (nmext to the title) saying (freely translated): "Not responding" until the 33 secs have passed.

Running NL on win7, latest updates all included and nothing special installed (using ps for work too)

FYI: Queue is completewly empty.

... and you tried an absolutely clean install? So you made sure NO old directory/files/folders were in the default install locations? ie AppData, etc, etc?

Then re-registered with password.

No moved/changed .ini folder locations? (to run from different drive, etc)?

Nope (and yes, i know my way around a pc...at least, my boss is paying me to do it for about 40 hrs a week...

)
