Holding the shift key for more than 8 seconds invokes some other properties of the OS

At the moment, it seems to be ignoring my keystrokes- many many F7's don't get me out. No other keystrokes seem to be acknowledged within the application either.

I've found that when loaded with Tame, Tame often thinks DP isn't doing anything when the keyboard isn't being used. So it suspends clock ticks to DP. If DP is actually in the process of loading or updating the display when Tame suspends it, it appears to be hung. However, if you press and hold the shift key, that tells Tame that you're interacting with DP and it lets DP have more clock time.

Subject: [Dataperf] Tame and load times

I am just playing with installing TAME and I am seeing some inconsistent behavior. Any guidance on where to look would be appreciated.

Problem 1 - slow loading
Many times, when I launch DP, it comes up with entire application loaded in a couple seconds. I am loading DP26YU.exe, if that matters.

However, there are other times when it partially loads and the displays a background color with a blinking cursor for 30 to 90 seconds. When I look at the open files list on the servers, the . STR and 3 .TMP files are open, but nothing else. The various db files (.IND, .TXX) do not show in the list of open files until the app loads, so I infer there is either a problem loading them or something before loading them and after loading the .STR file. Eventually, it may load or I may have to exit out 1 step and get back in to get it to load.

When I try several times running, it will load normally for a few times, then take a long time to load on a subsequent run. In the last 5 minutes, I have seen load times be 2, 30 and 90 seconds, with no apparent variation in server load. I am not having the same problem with other computers on the same network. Does anyone have any insight on where to look at this ?



Problem 2  - Display

When I access at the computer remotely, the application looks normal. When I talk with the user, she often sees it display with the DataPerfect app in the top half of the window and black space in the bottom half. If I go in remotely to the same session using window Remote Desktop, I don't see the black space problem. After I have load the app and am in, she doesn't see the black space either.

I tried to look at the screen remotely using TeamViewer, but it wouldn't display the dataperfect app when she loads it. If I load it using RDP, then activate TeamViewer, it works fine.
