Re: Slow loading in Windows 7

I removed all the vim environment variables and copied

C:\vim\vim74\gvim.exe

to a random directory, ran gvim from the command line, still as long to load. This is a 32 bit version of gvim on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.

Thanks,

Jack

i honestly don't know what the problem might be there, but did you try timing it without a vimrc(if you are using one) or plugins?

sometime ago i read something about using a gvim instance that was built with visual studio as opposed to using the mingw build. i don't know if that will help. but it's also worth a try. i understand that the compiler isn't the issue since you mentioned that the startup time s much better on a different pc.
