Hi Logidelic,

Your 100% correct that doesnt sound rite. I sometimes have a slow start up on the 1st fresh boot but after that everything runs smoothly.

Can you share your system specs?

This is something i would do;

1. Uninstall PowerArchiver including Patchbeam and the Virtual Driver.

2. If you have any system cleaning products on your computer such as ccleaner do a full clean including registry, then reboot your system.

3. Then download the latest version and install again.

Dont forget to backup your current configuration for PA , But on install "dont" import them untill you have tested the speed on a fresh install.

See if you notice a difference on a complete fresh install without any personal configurations.

After than then configure your product, personally i would do this from scratch.

I know this sounds like a pain in the backside, but it will help us establish multiple area's such as is it an upgrade issue, background tasking, registry issues, computer resource etc

Thanks.
