Hi HarryM

Just letting you know I have a similar system to yours with 2044 Cd's in the database with 75% with album covers and 30434 tracks.

To date, OrangeCD starts up and loads in the data in under 30 secs (full view mode). I am also storing the cover artwork in the main database as well.

By chance are you using Vista? If so, try turning the UAC and Protection mode off.


PS I have also disabled the file indexing, that slowed down the comp badly. You can disable this by going to the HD, right click/properties and untick the box for "index this drive"
