#15 Problems starting KeePass on laptop running XP

[Danny]

I have version 0.97c installed on an iomega Micro Mini
USB drive. I have problems launching KeePass on my new
work computer which is an IBM ThinkPad T41p running XP
Professional SP1. When I start the application,
nothing seems to happen for several minutes.
KeePass.exe shows up in Windows Task Manager Processes
tab, but it is not visible in the Applications tab nor
in the Alt-Tab app switcher window. After
approximately 2-3 minutes, the master password dialog
will finally show up. When I type in my password
sometimes the workspace opens up correctly and
sometimes I have to reclick the task bar icon and
retype my password before it works correctly. I've
tried copying my KeePass directory (program and
database) onto my hard drive to make sure it's not a
problem with the USB drive, but still see the same
behavior. This only seems to happen on my new laptop.
I've used this copy of KeePass from this USB drive
from perhaps 5 other computers without any problems.

Please try release 1.06. Let me know if it fixes the problem.

In the cases where the older version would have a start-up
delay, version 1.06 seems to have a delay of about 20
seconds. I tried several times in a row, and the delay was
the same. Every time, I would exit from KeePass without
typing in my master password. On the last attempt, I tried
toggling the AC power, and that made KeePass pop up right
away. I also typed in my master password that time. On
subsequent retries, KeePass pops up immediately even though
I exited completely out of it. When I get a chance I'll try
a couple more times to see if it is toggling the power
entering my master password that lets KeePass initialize
correctly on additional retries. If you need me to, I can
try out more TimeLog versions.

Users affected by this rare problem can upgrade to KeePass 2.x.
