Thanks Chris,
Of course it depends on the specs of your computer. My netbook has an Atom N270 processor and 2GB RAM. As I said it works perfectly with V7.5 but is terribly slow with V8 even with PP turned off. Using the sample database with only 160 people is exactly the same. I assume if I install it on my 8 core i7 desktop it will be fine but that is not the point. Whilst it "runs" it is not very useable. If Millennia can't optimise this any better then they need to upgrade their hardware specifications. I just looked and the only thing they have changed is the HDD space (not really important) and the RAM requirement which is now 1GB recommended and I have 2GB so as I said something is wrong.

It shows very little CPU except when first loading (about 7%) down to 0% once loaded. The last time I had that problem I found malware on my computer that was sucking all my CPU. Taskmgr did not explain at the time where all the CPU was going. I used Sophos Virus Removal Tool to find and kill the malware which I believe is a free tool. You can use this tool periodically in addition to your own virus software to get rid of any malware.
