KVK Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I have a program that takes about 30 seconds to start up due to our slow network. I would like to make a small program so that when you click on the icon it simply says "loading" until the program starts. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are not so strict around here, so no-one will yell at you Anyway, do you know how to write a program? Do you know any programming languages? Do you have any preferences - C, VB, Java, ...?

Sorry they are all shareware but if you search for things like "free splash screen maker" and things like that you may find one. I believe all of them listed will inject or allow you to add the splash screen to any executable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
