Hey Alan,
In the “about” screen, what’s the exact version? 3.0.4.something.
3.0.4.1
It still does this after rebooting?
Yes
Try turning off the “automatically check for updates” preference — that may be the problem too.
Doesn’t change the time it takes.
Lastly, try launching with caps lock on. Does the activation window show right away, or is that delayed too?
Comes up instantly.
Hope this helps. Very strange indeed.
