Hi, I've noticed the same problem. It simply freeses for 3-4 seconds. If I'm not wrong, every time you strart PSPad it checks for the new version on the internet. The trouble is that I couldn't find out how to turn off that automatic checking. I didn’t have this roblem in last version.
PSPad 4.5.2 (2240), it happens with every file -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,37230,37356> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
