I run RBase 9.5 32-bit on a relatively new Windows 8 laptop, just using it for my own personal database, and I haven't noticed any speed or reliability problems. Not sure which 9.5 clients of mine might be on windows 8... I use Webroot as my AV.

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. Patti
