VFP loads slower, after installing MSXML 4.0 Service Pack 3

[Don Child]

Hi,

I just installed VFP on my Windows 10 pc. Until today, I was working with my Win 8.1 laptop.

Everything went fine, including Service Pack 2. But when loading for the first time, VFP said that

Class Definition MSXML2.DOMDOCUMENT.4.0 is not found

So, per instructions on the web, I installed

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=15697

, and the installation went fine.

The problem is that now there's a delay, including that round 'wait indefinitely' symbol, before VFP finishes loading and displays the Project Manager and command prompt.

Does anyone know where I can look first? This is an SSP drive, so everything else runs quickly.

If you are receiving this message in the Task Pane Manager on load up, then in that window click on Options > and uncheck everything you don't need. I opted to "Never" show the Task Pane manager on load up but of course, you may have other requirements.

Thank you
