Persistant splash screen in JChem for excel

When I open excel files for which I've previously used Jchem4XL and added structures or chemical terms functions, sometimes the ChemAxon JChem for Excel splash screen persists for minutes, sometimes it never goes away until I close excel.  This can also happen when I import an SD file. It does not happen when using excel in general, only when invoking the plug-in.

I have not yet been able to detect any patterns in terms of file size, number of structures or functions, etc.   This behaviour is inconsistent, but regular; it's fine today, but last week exhbited the problem any time I tried to use JChem4XL.

Excel 2007; JChem4XL Version 5.10.0.673; intel core2 Duo P8700; 3 GB RAM; XP sp 3

any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Viktor, but for some reason under:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{c0938b3b-20e4-42dd-99af-35d21296ff74}\InprocServer32\

I dont have an entry for "ShowSplashScreen".

Hi Dana,

 

please create the key then, as described:

Settings can be 0 or 1 for the integer type (WORD) entry with the name ShowSplashScreen.

•0x0 means that Splash Screen is skipped/off whilst loading.
•0x1 (default) Splash is on

 

Please let me know how it works.

 

Viktor
