    For the record:
    I installed v 5.0.6.2 yesterday
    I launched it and got a strange and disturbing error message. I supressed panic and restarted my Mac, and License Control Center opened perfectly and found all my stuff.

    No other problems so far....in fact, here's the great news:
    With all 10 VI's on my system, it used to take around 8 minutes to open the VI standalone.

    Now - - - I had to log out and back in and do it again because I thought I was dreaming - - - 1 (ONE) minute!!!!!

    Brave new world!

    Hi Rob. It "feels" faster so that's always good! I've had some good luck thus far with the updates. It's so much better to not have to wait as long for it to start up! [:D] [/code]

    I will if you will, if that's any consolation...

    After all, what would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? [:P]

    please don't forget to re-boot after installing something ... OSX (as a UNIX-like system) keeps running processes in memory and re-reads the updated files only after all instances of an application are removed from memory.
    best choice would be to reboot before and after an update to make sure all conditions apply.
    so strange behaviour of a more complex program after an update without a reboot shouldn't take you wonder ...

    Thanks cm - that's exactly what happened to me (as I noted above).
    Good to be reminded.....

    Did the update-- and did 5-6 reboots before Syncrosoft kicked in. It's working okay-- no appreciable difference from 5.0.5.0.

    Oh-- I had to totally dump my Directory Manager and reload it, too.

    Hi,

    made the updates, first loading time is still about 5 minutes, the rest is fast, as it was already in the last version.
    (G5 DP2.5, 4.5 GB Ram, 10.4.7)

    Hope it will get faster...5minutes still a long time, specially when clients are beside you & waiting.

    I also have similar results with the latest. With 2.6 gig of samples - it takes about 5 minutes on all four slaves.

    It wold be useful for users to report start times for the VI standalone or AU with no samples loaded (first instance initialisation) then there can be a clearer comparison.

    The sample header load time though equally important is not, i suspect, affected by the recent VI and Synchrosoft updates.

    VSL are stating initialisation times of 50-60 seconds - mine are currently 2:30 as an AU 1:50 as a standalone. (G5 2.5 dual OSX 10.4.7 , Logic 7.2.1.
