Hi Nimer, Karen is right about the RAM; 512 is hardly enough for the programs themselves, much less a screen reader and a software synthesizer. the answer as to why 7.5 might be different: it might be a larger program, using more memory than 7.2. and so, windows may have to hit the swap file more often.
your other question as to why other users are reporting this is more valid.
