TWS takes nearly 4 minutes to load!

I'm not sure if it's only me but my TWS takes too damn long to start up. I wonder if it's a memory issue. Does anybody know how I can allocate more memory?

Sounds more like your computer is struggling with the software.... More RAM or greater RAM allocation likely not a help.

i'm having different issues today,where orders submitted as smart all routed to island,but not displayed anywhere.
i'm stuck right now with couple small orders and i can't even sell them at the bid..
 
Start turning off features in TWS that you don't use. I use the latest version and it loads just fine. Try exempting it in your anti-virus and anti-spam software.

I'm running Windows 7 Pro (x64 edition). I also upgraded the TWS to the latest build yesterday. The only reason why I bothered upgrading was this slowass problem. But the problem still remains.

As for the reason why I asked about allocating higher memory, such a gimmick usually works in Thinkorswim, which allows you to configure the amount of ram.
