Hi Peter, You are not alone. I don't think any software manufacturer (my octotools included) will give much priority to the speed of opening an app as opposed to operating speeds, functionality, flexibility and general performance charactersitics. After all, those other criteria are what users care about most. On the other hand, opening (and closing) can get so extreme that some users will seek alternate solutions. I have a 1Ghz Intel processor on my Winbook laptop, XP Pro, IE 6. Firefox, and with 386Mbyte of memory. When I need MSWord or Excel (which has a couple of add-ons for special character/font sets) I really dread opening it since it can take minutes to load. Of course having my most often used apps open in the first place is fine, but still when booting up it takes a long, long time. You may want to open your reader upon startup just to get it out of the way. There are other readers, but I do like the features of the Adobe. Good luck, Larry T.
