I don't think it's necessarily the graphics card by itself, but how well Windoze, Mapinfo and Graphics card play together, and how well Windoze handles the hardware excelleration of the card. Switching screens back and forth (I know that's common) creates intense screen re-draws or refreshes. And one of the three above is bound to sooner or later through a temper-tantrum.
I've noticed on my win98se Thinkpad notbook with 32megs of vid mem, after an afternoon of using Mapinfo, Corel Draw/Photopaint, web browsing grahic intensive sites, if I have a whole bunch of icons littered on the desktop, I've seen screen refresh come to a crawl and near crash just minimizing everything to reveal the desktop. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 2:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI-L labels causing unresponsiveness We've had that happened to us as well. It seems to be when you go back and forth between the layout view and map view fairly quick. We are running Windows 2000 on a CITRIX environment. Our IT department does not think it has to do with the graphics card. Is this a MapInfo bug? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Philip Lesnik Research Systems Analyst, Market Research General Growth Properties, Inc. 110 N.

If not, you might repeat this a couple times lowering your hardware excelleration each time. Naturally, my next suggestion would be to check with the mfr. Of your system or card and make sure you have the latest greatest video drivers. HTH David Reid -----Original Message----- From: Alan Gunn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L labels causing unresponsiveness I am making a street atlas. This has been a rather tedious process. Now I am at the step of making all the labels show up (manually changing them so they don't overlap). This has been causing my MI 7.5 to crash repeatedly after only moving a few labels around and switching from the layout and map windows. Any hints on how to stop this? Very frustrating when you are facing a deadline. Very frustrating indeed. Thanks for any help, Alan Gunn Residential Strategies, Inc.
