Hi

I have an app that displays a splash screen then the main app.

I have noticed lately that when it starts an hourglass appears then
disappears then my app seem to
go on it's way of splash timing out then main app apears

It is more noticeable on older pc's where the hourglass stays visible and
slows down my app becoming visible
I use hourglasses but not at start-up and I commented out all my hourglass
code to make sure it wasn't me do this.

Any ideas what may cause this to appear and slow down my app loading???

Thanks

The hourglass appears because you are telling it to....Not much advice
because there is no code showing what you are processing during the splash
screen and how and when you change the mousepointer.

What are process is occurring during the splash screen? - Some connection to
another application that might be showing the hourglass?
