have you followed all guidelines to make a fast start projector on the MM technotes? My guess is, although you've excluded the xtras, you didn't excluded the runtime.
1. don't include xtras, instead put them into an xtras folder on the same level as your projector. (in mx2004 you can tick the exclude all xtras folder, in MX you'll have to remove all the xtras in the modify>movie>xtras (and tick exclude from projector) 2. in that same folder put the runtime files: dirapi.dll , Iml32.dll, msvcrt.dll, proj.dll (which you can find in your mm director folder somewhere) 3. publish your shockwave movie using the 'shokwave' setting instead of the 'standard' setting. You should now end up with a stub projector that us only a few hunderth Kb big and will start faster. If things STILL go too slow to your liking, you can add an image named exactlly the same as your projector (eg.. when it's projector.exe, make it projector.bmp) that will show when the projector is loading. You can hide the file to keep the disk layout nice. To avoid multiple instances of your projector running at once you can (in director mx2004) tick the box 'single instance only' or in MX. Make an .ini file named exactlly the same as your projector and place that in the same path as the projector (eg.projector.ini) and add the lines: [Settings] SingleInstance=1 This should cover most of your problems.

I need help again. I'm having trouble with the stub projectors for a while now. I think I'm doing something wrong because I've done a couple of projects using this technique to make the projector start faster and I haven't accomplished this. What I'm doing is to set up a movie following the instructions of Macromedia for a stub projector but I don't make it work faster. It takes more than 10 seconds to start. Some users with the MX version tried to open the disk again having two or three versions of the same application running because this slow start up process. My first movie it doesn't have Xtras (use them externally) but I register the PrintOMatic MX Xtra and the V12 on that movie. Will this be the problem? According with the PrintOMatic documentation I have to put the Xtra on the first movie of the projector to be properly registered. Is this correct use of the registration process or I'm doing something wrong. Thank you in advance.
