Can anyone help me?
For some reason, when I turn on my PC the Windows screen with the little blue squares travelling left to right sits there for five or so passes (normal) then the blue welcome screen hangs there for about one minute and five seconds before the desktop appears(not normal). What has happened? Is it easily fixed or has something deep and deadly happened to Bill's software?
Everything else works fine and all apps work OK (including astro stuff).

Cheers
