Coming late to this party as I've been away, but as far as finding out how widespread this problem is: I switch m/c's regularly, syncing between them, and have had no hangs at all. My m/c's are Vista 32, Vista 64 and XP 32. My processors & available memory are high in respect of the operating system being used. The windows indexing option is on/off depending on the m/c. My database was upgraded from a v1 database at about the time you started releasing v2 test versions; it has 7K+ cards in it of the Vocab type, many have sound but no pictures. These are in a separate db, not the default one. Some cards were loaded via the front end, some as a bulk import.
