Slow Start Up
When I first installed PSE 5, it didn't take too long to load. Then, I changed preferences to change where it looks for plugins and ever since then it seems to take forever for the program to start. It will get as far as reading preferences and then wait, and wait and once it gets past that point, it opens up quickly. Does anyone know what the problem may be?

Susan, I had the same problem with 3 and when added plug-ins I had had extremely slow start ups after they loaded. It was suggested to not have elements look for them at start up. Change your settings back and see if it helps.

I copied my plug-ins over to the PSE5 folder and haven't had any problems with slow-downs. I think it's now faster starting up than earlier versions (once I'd done a defrag of the hard drive which was starting to slow things down). Been loading too many updates recently and that seemed to leave my hard drive in a mess.

Where do I find this Preference to change it?
Can someone point me to the preference to change this back? Mine takes forever to load as well.
Thanks Kate

Found it ... now what?
I found the box, but what am I supposed to change it to? I guess I'm confused on what a scratch disk is. Mine says "startup" in the first drop down and "none" in the others. The little check box is NOT checked.

Kate ...
The original problem here was where someone had already changed their preferences to change where it looks for plugins ... changing it back solved the problem. Did you change yours .. if not then this isn't going to help you Wendy

I have a question. My machine is doing pretty well now...but was wondering if the changes here depend on each individual machine and how much ram, etc, etc. they have? My scratch disks are: 1st is Startup and the rest are none. Should I be changing to something else to make it faster or just leave well enough alone.
