Hello edward,

I checked what you wrote and you are right: Apparently it was the icon generation only. Strange: I'm quite sure I had opened Houdini two or even three times right after install and every time it took so long. Maybe that it works well now has something to do with the reboot afterwards. After all I'm on Windows ;-).

I tried the windows firewall alone once, but unfortunately it doesn't suffice by far. I want total control and very good usability, which I couldn't get it to give to me. Besides CIS has features additional to just a firewall which I find useful, but thanks that you care.

You are very generous, edward - many thanks for that. Best wishes for you.

Greetings

Hello once again,

it seems a special setting in Comodo Internet Security was the reason for slow performance of Houdini. After changing that and rebooting, Houdini starts several times faster now. The setting is mentioned at its description to possibly cause slowdown of the system. It is in the firewall extended settings: You have to disable monitoring of other NDIS-protocols than TCP/IP. Hopefully this helps someone else.

Greetings

There is a short info I want to add, just in case it may help someone: The last font that was processed, was “gautami.ttf”.
