Long time to load?

Well, I was just wondering how come it takes a long time to load.
First time using it, I loaded at least 5~10mins to play, but then I dced.
Second and a few more times, I press the .exe and logged in, and instead of getting the "SoulFix need to be downloaded..." pop up, I get the "HGuardthing pop-up must be downloaded" and then I played and it seemed not to respond...
Can some1 help?

Sorry I dont have SS, I just started today.

Just in case you are still here,
if the "HGuardthing pop-up must be downloaded" thing comes up and once you press ok and nothing comes up, it might be that you still have SoulMS or Maplestory still playing on your computer (it's just that you don't see it on your screen).
Therefore, in order to fix this, get to Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and go to process tab.
Look for SoulMS.exe and Maplestory.exe and right click those. Then, click end process for both of them.
Then, start SoulMS just the way you do and boom.

Oh by the way, you need to replace HSupdate.exe that you extracted from the SoulMS.zip in the HSshield folder in you maplestory folder everytime you want to start up the game.
