Nothing interesting in the log.

Do you have printer(s) installed? Check Windows printer control panel. (possible reason is for example non-existing network printer)

When the game & I/O ports page opens up, can you change the settings ??

Default Settings
Printer : none
Serial Port : none
Midi : none
Mouse/Joystick Ports
Port 0 : Mouse *
Port 1 : Keyboard Layout A (Numeric keypad, 0 and 5 = Fire)

Yes, I can change everything.., but before the page opens up winuae freeze 20/30 seconds (in the best case)...or freeze forever..

You can downgrade WinUAE to a older version, without losing your settings, although I would advise you to place it into a different folder to the 1.5.2 version. That way you can use them both to see if they behave differently, try it and see

I tried with 2 older version of winuae in two different folder but it's the same.., I thinks that the problem could be in the windows register but I don't have any idea where on it...
Thanks to all for yours support

Maybe you need a registry cleaner, I use RegCure and it usually fixes all those nasty problems, run it a few times until your problems score is low, then try running WinUAE. Of course uninstall WinUAE first before trying any of these

Maybe reinstalling your printers can solve the problem. Uninstall your printers, reboot and install them again. Are your printers are connected via USB? If so maybe a USB port change can fix it.

..mmm I solved the problem : is the lan cable.., when I disconnect it there isn't any freeze..

[Toni Wilen]

Opening ports panel does following:
- check if Ghostscript is installed (only done once)
- enumerate printers
- enumerate MIDI ports

Problem must be something to do with printers. Perhaps Network printer that never responds to enumeration or something like that.

Serial ports and input devices are enumerated before GUI opens.

So you have a 'network' printer installed. I guess it's attached to another computer. Would be interesting to know if this lag also appears when you try to open a shared folder on the other machine.

Yes, the problem is an older network printer...!I deleted it and now it seems all ok!!
