If you start Windows Task Manager and it reports more than one CPU core, then 
you should be running using the shortcut I created for you; which tells the 
mailer to use only one core. 

The reason for this, is because the D'Bridge code in how it runs on NTVDM, 
which is the Windows DOS service, is not properly supported for multi-core 
usage. It appears the system timer is not properly emulated or reported.

The tell-tale sign of this problem is when D'Bridge hangs (freezes) completely
at the midnight Auto-Update event. The clock seconds freeze at zero.

If the problem still occurs with startup delays on Windows 7, then we need to
do troubleshooting as I mentioned before. I am not seeing anything outright 
which would be causing this problem to happen.
