Initializing & Layer Manager

[ShockFire]

Lots of people seem to have the program hang at "Initializing"
I have the same problem, however the program itself works fine
The solution seems to be to press Alt+F4 to close the splash screen
(I assume this is not by design)
I have a GeForce 4, so it should work (and it does of course, partially)
I can live with this, but it took me a while to figure it out,
so this is for everyone having the same problem

A more serious problem: I can't open the layer window
The JIT debugger gives this error:
************** Exception Text **************
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: node
at System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeCollection. Add(TreeNode node)
at WorldWind.LayerManager..ctor(WorldWindow ww, TreeNode[] nodes)

Thanks in advance,

Seems I can't connect to both Landsat and USGS
The internet connection works, because Animated Earth downloads stuff
The Layer Mrg and USGS may be somehow related,
since USGS seems to 'overlay' it's pictures on the globe

I found out the memory Initialization might take up to 5 minutes,
so I disabled allways on top of the splash screen so it could load in the background
However it's still loading after 30 minutes

Here's a stack trace that -might- be helpfull
Can't get the debugging to work yet, so more on that later

seems like another internationalization to me
.Net is set to be on an internationalization spree by default you know :P

Yup, I learned that not too long ago and it looks like you've found a place in the program I did not fix. :P
