I thought I would revisit this topic for two reasons:

First, I did uninstall and reinstall MA3 beta10, as well as again updating the driver for my ATI 4850 graphics card (after totally uninstalling the previous driver and its registry entries) and the 10 second launch delay of MA3 persists.

Second, I note that when I launch MA3 in windowed mode, the MA3 item in the task bar has an exclamation point preceding the application name. This is also visible for a fraction of a second in full-screen mode just after MA3 exits. There is no explanation for the exclamation point and I wonder what significance it has.

All this is on a Dell 435MT with Core i7 920 2.66GB processor, 6GB RAM, Vista Home Premium 64-bit, ATI Radeon 4850 graphics card with Catalyst 9.4 driver. As I noted in a previous post, MA3 runs without the launch delay on the same computer (different internal HD) under Windows 7 RC 64-bit.
