Ok, why does the player take a minute to load on my system? I've tried WinXP and Win2K, and the startup time is painfully slow on both!

Do you have a AMD machine?

I have a Dell Latitude 600 with Intel Pentium III M chip and WinXP SR2 which I just installed so its clean. Previously, I had Win2k and VLC was also very slow there.

I have the same issue here.
And it is on a wide variety of boxes, mainly P4 and PIII running 2K or XP.
VLC takes between 5-25 seconds to load.

Personally I see it as a mere annoyance. However, used as a multicast client on user workstations it is a problem since "users" generally have very short attention span and will click several times on the launch icon. :P
