This is probably a computer issue rather than an Alpha issue but I thought I'd ask in case anyone has any ideas before I wipe the whole hard drive and start over.
When I run A5v6 or the A5v7 beta, half the time the program won't even start and the other half every keystroke or mouse click takes 4 seconds to "complete". In other words, if I type my name, I have to press the "C", wait 4 seconds, press the "a", wait 4 seconds, press the "l", wait 4 seconds - and so on. (Hmmm, this would be great if I could charge customers for the extra time!)
Every other program seems to be running with no problem - even A5v1, A5v4, and A5v5. I even ran MS Flight Sim because that requires so much memory, etc. - it runs fine.
Yesterday, I inadvertantly clicked something on a web page that tried to install a supposed antivirus program but I did not allow it to load and later Googled it to discover that it was, indeed, a bogus program.
So, I've run 3 spyware removal programs (8 items were removed) and 2 antivirus programs (2 new viruses were found and deleted) and they all give the computer a clean bill of health now.
I've also re-installed windows XP (over top of the existing program) and removed and re-installed A5v6 (at least 3 times) including the registry entries and re-run all the spyware and antivirus programs and the problem persists.
Anybody have any thoughts before I wipe the system drive and start over? (Dang, working with computers sure is fun!)
(While waiting for responses, I'll be verifying all my registration info and install files.)
