What is the window title of that "black box"? Is it possible that it is
a command prompt that is actually your program, and that it took longer
to run because of something like trying to access a network drive or
something? (note: I have not run Windows in about ten years, I have no
idea how it behaves when you try to access a drive letter that does not
correspond to a currently mapped device or share).
