Hi Terry,
A better graphics card probably will not solve this problem. On the
Preferences Dialog, selectable from the File Menu, verify that the
Display Lists Enabled checkbox is checked. If you are able to easily
manipulate a caret surface in the main window, your graphics card is
sufficient.
The problem with the Display Control Dialog taking a long time to
appear appeared after the version 4 upgrade of the QT software (which
creates the user-interface). The Display Control is very large, and
I intend to rewrite it in the (hopefully) near future so that it no
longer uses QT3 legacy code and so that it only creates its many sub-
pages as they are needed.

Hi Donna and David,
I tried changing the performance options - there is an "Adjust for
best
performance" button which turns all the unnecessary visual effects
off,
including the 'show window contents while dragging'. This really
speeded up
the computer, but only marginally affected the loading of the display
control. I'm looking into getting a better graphics card, as the
problem seems
to be there. Thanks.
Terry
