This is an odd one. Basically on one of my Windows 7 boxes TheIDE starts up incredibly slowly, it takes 3-4 minutes before the package selection screen is displayed. There is a similar delay when opening some other dialogs, such as Build Setup.

My other Windows 7 64bit box is fine, so clearly this isn't a general issue. I've tried everything I can think of: Recompilation, run as administrator, run in XP compability mode, granting full permissions to the upp directories. Nothing makes any difference.

I have no idea what's wrong with it. I'm not expecting a definitive fix or anything, just wondering if anyone had further ideas of things to try. It's driving me crazy!
