Frank,
Just in case you are still needing to know. Once you double click (or if
you have it in the quick launch tray single click) the Vantage Icon to get
it started the splash screen will flash on the screen. As soon as it is
visible, click on it once like it was one big icon. The splash will
disappear and the login time will be reduced.
I have been thinking of seeing if I can create an AutoIT script to do this,
but for now I just let people know to do it manually. I started trying this
after I noticed that the login screen never showed up until the splash was
gone, unlike report builder. Then I started timing (nothing official like a
watch) just counting. When I noticed the reduced time for just clicking the
splash I passed the word around. Sorry I did not pass it on to the group
earlier, we just have not had a thread about login time in a while. :)
Good luck to all,
Aaron Hoyt

Todd,
This is going to sound silly, but I have instructed users to click the
splash screen to send it away and this has improved the time to login
screen. Good luck, Aaron Hoyt Vantage Plastics

FWIW....I have the same issue here only on selected PCs. All are configured
to not scan Vantage mapped drives, etc... The really crazy thing (and I
have measured it repeatedly) is that the login screen will not appear until
exactly when the splash screen disappears. Like they are linked somehow.
Not on every PC either but probably 1 out of 3 (including mine). RB comes
up immediately - over the top of the splash screen.
I thought the splash screen was set for 30 seconds but I can no longer find
where this is set to try 15 seconds. In the mfgsys.ini file I have the
following startup section: [Startup] V6Display=no ;ImmediateDisplay=yes
;MultitaskingInterval=100 DLC=V:\PROGRESS Use-3D-Size=No
PROBUILD=V:\PROGRESS\Probuild PROPATH=.,M:\mfgsys61 PrinterFont=Courier
New,Size=12 AllowDesignMode=no nosplash=yes
Anyone know what "ImmediateDisplay" is and why it would be commented out?
Also, why "nosplash=yes" and yet the splash screens do come up? Perhaps I am
looking in the wrong place.
Thanks,
-Todd C.

Jeremy,
Thanks for the info. I have changed servers and I checked the anti- virus.
The anti-virus is not scanning V: and I scanned the registry for all
references for the old server (That took a while!). It seems to be faster.
I am going to try it on a couple of other pc's to see if it makes a
difference to other users here.
Thanks to all who replied! I appreciate it
Jeff
