Well I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier. I just did a Router
update and also updated the firmware in the uKeyer2.
Problem solved. Start up now takes about 25 seconds.
I will ask one question though. I originally purchased my microKEYER II to
interface with a Kenwood TS-450. Can I use the same interface cabling for a
TS-850? Or is there a cable specifically for an 850?

Are you starting Router manually after the computer has started
and all the automatically loaded software has finished loading
or are you starting it automatically at Windows start?
There is a very large variability in start-up time depending on what
Windows is loading - particularly if several of the Adobe, Google,
Intuit, and Norton programs are all trying to load at start-up. For
those systems used primarily for amateur purposes, I scour the
start-up, disable auto loading of any Adobe (Reader, Flash), Intuit,
Norton, and Google software (typically auto-update applications),
disable unnecessary Windows services, and configure Router to start
after a 15 second delay (allows Windows to initialize/load other
items).
Many users will have from six to 20 automatically loading programs
at start-up and those can be competing with Router for memory and
CPU resources.
