(addendum to the post I just did)

Please also keep in mind that *every time* I run the app, it does say "Completed Successfully*.

But then literally 2 seconds later, I get the crash popup message. So, this is a very weird issue.

Two updates:

1) Just in case this might give someone a hint to the cause of the 10 second delay...

The output path for the backed up files is to a second internal drive that spins down when there is no activity to it.

So, this obviously would be the cause for the startup delay, but the problem is, if I run the app a second time right away (with the drive already spun up), there is stil the 10-15 second delay.

2) Since the crashing is in the uxtheme.dll, I'm thinking it has something to do with the way you are skinning the app's UI - so how can I disable your app from using any skinning API's because this might stop the crashing. It's weird that the crashing only happens *after* the backup completes successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

It still happened.

It still has a 10+ second delay from shortcut click to when UI appears - All my other apps display within 2-3 seconds (like word, etc).

Here is a screen shot of the crash:

OK, I just did the weekly registry backup with "Run as Admin" enabled in the shortcut and it didn't crash. Lets see if this fix holds up for future runs.

But, it still has that 10-15 second delay from the time I double-click the icon to when the UI appears. I have a fast PC, so this shouldn't happen and it only started happening when I upgraded from 2.x to 3.x.

Is this a user-supported forum, or does the developer monitor this forum too?

I was using v2.x of Registry Backup on my Win 7 Ultimate 64bit for over a year with no problems whatsoever.

Now that I upgraded to 3.5.3, I am having two problems:

1) There is now a 10+ second delay before the main UI will appear after I click the desktop icon.

2) After a "successful" backup completes, about 2 seconds later I will get a crash in the uxtheme.dll file and I have to close the app. If I immediately do another backup, the crash will NOT happen. I run the registry backup once a week and this crashing appears to happen each week.

Any ideas whats going on?
