the same thing? I just installed PPPlus and is it ever ssssslllllllooooooooooooow. I haven't had time to investigate what the issue might be yet, but, geez, I could get a good night's sleep waiting for this thing to boot up, it seems!
 
It is the same thing. When I installed mine the first time I booted it up I had to let it sit over night b/c my internet is so slow and it is installing all the updates that have been done since the installation program.

Thanks, Jennifer. And I'll check and see if it boots up faster next time. Never thought about the updates loading.
 
It also takes a lot of RAM to run it, so maybe your computer doesn't have enough.
 
Sandy,I've found that if I start P3 FIRST (before other programs), it loads faster than if something else is already running.
And adding RAM to your machine (if possible) will help, too.
 
After first install, it took mine 3-4 hours at least on a satellite connection to get all the updates in...let it run overnight and it should get better. If after that, it is slow, check your PC specs...
