20 minute loading times on that system doesn't sound normal. How much CC do you have? Consider getting rid of a lot. Are you shutting down non essential programs before running the game such as anti virus and so on?
I had 15 minute load times, believe it was a P4 2.0GHz with 512 MB RAM (I know right?!) and a Intel chip. Then when I added zOMG PETZ!!!1!!! the lot loading time alone went to 45 minutes. I knew it was time for a new PC and I got one, now I can go from desktop to lot in about 7 minutes or less.

I have a crap-load of cc. Basically, when I found the booty-site I went on a bit of a spree. Not looking forward to sifting through and deleting, but I know it's inevitable. And yes, I do ctrl+alt+esc and shut down everything sucking up RAM before I start my game. If I had the money for a new comp I would absolutely buy one, but for now this has to do. :-\

Thank you rosses...the screen-saver was the issue. Fixed!
Sita:
Yay! I was going to say that I! just spotted this thread, screensaver was the answer for me too - damn WinXP built-in screenie. I had had this error since I put XP in months ago...

:) Here's a little application that can give you a screensaver ..... without actually having a screensaver . Just drop the folder inside this zip into your program files and then make a shortcut to it on your desktop . Then when you want to spend a bit of time away from your computer without changing it's state or leaving your work then just double click on the shortcut you just made and voila , the screen goes all black and all you have to do is click the spacebar or whatever to bring your normal screen back . Being just a black screen this little application uses far less resources than a ' proper ' screensaver but does it's job equally as well ( ie saves the screen ) . Credits and permissions are in the zip with the app :)
( Of course , it's just as easy to turn your monitor off while you're away from your computer :D )
