Stu,

As far as I know, this is a Windows bug in Win 98/Me. It has nothing to do with your application. I'm guessing your exe is on the root of the CD? Try placing it inside a folder and see if that helps.

The program is about 1.8 MB for Windows. I use the same machine (swap boot drives) to test on WinXP, Win2000, WinME, and Win98. It is my low end test machine, a Pentium 3 with 384 Megs of RAM. When the program (it is simply a launcher for another program) runs from the hard drive, it completes running in 3 to 5 seconds on any of these setups. So, the code isn't running slowly. When I run it from a CD it might take 10-15 seconds on WinXP or Win2000(CD drive spun down at start). But on WinME it is taking 80 to 90 seconds to load and run. The CD is the same for all configurations and this drive can download an 8 MB file to the hard drive in 6 seconds from a spun down start. I placed some test code in the application to see if the code was running slowly on WinME at some point. The code didn't start running for 80 seconds. Any ideas on how I can get this to launch faster?
