Do you still have a five minutes loading??

That is what mean.
It'just happens on the first start of MePo (this logs are made witz 2-4 start).

In logs there is no any problem, it could be something with harddisk (defragmentation, bad sectors..., maybe antivirus) or not accessible network drives (if they are exists in shares).

Fast loading after 1-2 starts is because of hardrive caching so on MP start it loads it from memory and not from HD.

Hi there,

I had this issue on one of my clients.... it would take ages to get past the windows plugin screen (this was prior to RC).

The most annoying this is I can not remember what I did to fix it (Not sure if it was a network issue)

I will try and check my client and see....

J.

It could'nt be network problems, there are'nt shares.
It's strage that the bug apperars with the install of the RC. Why sould Windows get these problems at the same moment?

Will, I think I will reinstall the whole system over the weekend. Will be a lot of work (very custom Windows look).

No, don't go so radical. One q is why your MP uses config from here:

C:\Users\Media\AppData\Local\Temp\MPTemp\MediaPortalTemp.xml

Can you for first empty all your temp directories (user and windows).

I have already see this a long time ago, can you try to change Language in configuration? I know that something change when doing this, it's just for testing

Hey guys, the idea with the temp directories seems to work!
I will test it tomorrow and make a report.

So, the bug appears after one reboot. The trick with the temp-files don't work anymore (there is no MePo temp).

Language change don't help.

Too bad, is it always not working ? or you find a solution ?
