If your laptop came with McAfee internet suite installed, unplug the
internet cable, turn off wi-fi and disable it. I found the ''%?&* thing
dogged every computer I ever had it on. If the computer now works as you
expect, remove McAfee and use whatever is the latest freeware virus top
rate. I'm running Windows Essentials on my laptop, but I don't think it
will work on 8.1 (I'm 7 Pro). McAfee, among others, has the nasty habit
of checking every call to an exe file. You might be able to set it to
ignore the RBG*.exe.

We've been using Rbase 9.5 on Win XP Service pack 3 - both on our
server at work and on my stand-alone laptop. (We're upgrading the
server in the next few weeks.) I have been struggling with Rbase
crashing and some features not working right in both environments. So
I thought I'd replace my laptop to see if things are any better.
Now I'm using Rbase 9.5 on a Dell laptop with Win 8.1 and the crashes
are still happening and it's so much slower. When I right-click on a
control, and hit Object Property, it takes 3 seconds before it
responds. My new laptop has 8 GB ram, and an Intel core i5-4200U CPU
processor (1.6 GH to 2.3 GH).
This has so much more Ram and GH than my old laptop, but it is so much
slower that I thought maybe the problem was Windows 8.1. Does anyone
have any suggestions? I can still return the laptop, but can't spend
over $600 to replace it.
