Slooooooow program load

I’ve got 3.0 on two virtually idential computers. XP, 512meg ram, 1.4gig processors. On one of them 3.0 loads very quickly, on the other it really drags its tail, sometimes taking a couple of minutes. This happens whether I have other programs running or not, right after boot, or not. It doesn’t seem to be grabbing an inordinate amount of ram.
Should I simply uninstall and reinstall the program? Anything else I can do? I played around with ram settings in preferences, but it made no difference. I did add a bunch of plugins, but I also did that to the other computer. Hmmmmm.

Oh, one other thing. Is there any way to set it up so that the window with all the choices can be bypassed and the editor is loaded straight

Thanks.

How many fonts and plugins do you have on each computer?
PhotoShop reads **all** of them during loading.

Can’t say exactly, but they are identical on both computers. The problem seems to occur after the screen tells me everything has been loaded. Things just go into limbo for awhile.
