Library Reads All Media When Using Quick Initialization

Valid on Windows platforms.

Symptom

The Quick Initialization option is enabled and the library still reads all the media during initialization.

Solution

To remedy this problem, consider the following:

• The library was not successfully initialized. Quick Initialization is activated only after a successful library initialization.
• The library’s hardware configuration was changed. After any change in the library’s hardware configuration, Quick Initialization is disabled until another successful initialization.
• The LIBRARY.CFG file was deleted or overwritten. LIBRARY.CFG contains information used by Quick Initialization, so deleting or overwriting this file disables Quick Initialization.
