Excuse me if this has been covered, but I may have missed it.  I'm getting long load times for RP whether it's in stand-alone mode or inserted in a project.  I'm talking about 2-3 minutes with no indication of what's happening until the interface suddenly pops up.  I checked the CCC and found that although the RP light is red, all the installation packs are green.  I reinstalled, and I'm getting the same problem.  Has anyone else seen this?  Is this normal or expected behavior?  Thanks for any replies in advance.

my experience has been about 30 seconds to load.

Ahh...  I see that I'm not alone.  I just did a more thorough search and found that this has been an issue from the beginning.  Is there a work-around for this other than uninstalling everything or am I better off waiting for an update from CW?

Problem solved.  Though the  red light was on for RP in CCC, all my extension packs were green.  I reinstalled just RP, and not "install all", and the load time is down to 10 seconds in both my projects and standalone mode.
