Why when I start it takes a long time to load. Why is this happening?

A
Answer by Alex Urbach

The reason for slow starting could be related to the lack of RAM in your computer because of the slow processing speed of the CPU. Alternatively, the drive where the application is installed could be full. Try using CCleaner to clean the temporary files and then start the application again but if you keep experiencing this error, you might need to upgrade you computer components.
