Tweenies Go Up A Mountain. They bought the train ticket from me at the ticket office where I once worked. I wasn't supposed to appear in it, my colleague who was to have appeared in it was late for work and as they were in a hurry I had to take her place. Took about an hour to film, I was in shot for about 5 seconds I think. On a more serious note, thanks to all who replied to my defragment query. It might well be down to the fact that there are two programs running which might be having an effect. Scandisk runs fine and reckons (even on advanced) that there are no errors. The slow down has happened gradually fairly recently, implying it's not just one new installation or deinstallation, which is why I thought it might be down to fragmentation. The two programs running in the background are DirectCD and AVG anti-virus. I also have a huge folder with images of my QXL.WIN QL CDs (PD library, Emulators CD, Clipart CDs etc etc). Once I'm sure I've got up to date backups, I'll take up the suggestions and have another go. I'm spending every spare minute on Launchpad at the moment as it's so close to release, really hoping to have it at the Byfleet workshop, and the demo version on my website by the weekend - the only incomplete bits at the moment are the text file viewer accessory (nearly finished, but it is important as it's used for the Help files) and the calculator accessory. Can live with the slow down in Windows (QPC2 is OK, no noticeable difference) while I do this, especially as the helpful replies received offer good hope of being able to solve this. -- Dilwyn Jones
