Wow Kate, that's a long time. I just timed ProPack loading to see how slow it was on my system. It didn't seem much if any slower than Poser 4 alone at 49 seconds from the time I clicked the shortcut to the time it presented the fully ready to use workspace. My ProPack Poser folder is 4.99GB and has 20,439 files in it, I'm running a Pentium III 500Mhz with 256MB RAM and I had Netscape and a few other smaller apps running when I started ProPack this evening.
