Is your app running from a local drive of off a network drive?
If on a network drive, it will help to move it to a local drive.
>I created my application on a 300Mhz processor and experience good performance when launching my app. Unfortunately, my customer is using a 133Mhz 586 which performs like a P75. I understand the application will run slower than on my 300Mhz system but there is such a delay that users start the application a second time and get an error message. Then once the app is cached, it launches much faster. None the less I have two questions.

During a period of no obvious activity the mouse pointer is an arrow, which makes it appear as though there is no activity. I have tried to set the mouse pointer and add splash screens to show some activity, but the delay happens before my code runs. I believe it's when the vfprun.exe is starting. Can I control the mouse pointer when vfprun.exe is starting.
