My problem is something like this: I install Archicad either version (9 or 10) and I have problems starting it... I mean it takes about 4 minutes to start-up..
Is it ok? do I have any services interfering with it?
Some friend of mine has a slower pc and it works just fine.
Please help.. and I promise I'll buy Archicad 'cos I'm going to make my firm and I have to make some arch. projects.
PLEASE HELP

You mean that it takes four minutes for the hacker script used to defeat the hardware key to work?

That is pretty quick in my book.

Usually we go out and earn the money to actually buy a license. That takes days.

That's what I was thinking, assuming he's not just using the demo version.

A lot of software (including ArchiCAD AFAIK) has bugs built in to work specifically for the program is cracked. They are intended to annoy the user into the buying the real version. And rightfully so - a lot of work goes into making ArchiCAD. Looks like it may be working too!
