If your laptop came with McAfee internet suite installed, unplug the internet cable, turn off wi-fi and disable it. I found the ''%?&* thing dogged every computer I ever had it on. If the computer now works as you expect, remove McAfee and use whatever is the latest freeware virus top rate. I'm running Windows Essentials on my laptop, but I don't think it will work on 8.1 (I'm 7 Pro). McAfee, among others, has the nasty habit of checking every call to an exe file. You might be able to set it to ignore the RBG*.exe.

(We're upgrading the server in the next few weeks.) I have been struggling with Rbase crashing and some features not working right in both environments. So I thought I'd replace my laptop to see if things are any better. Now I'm using Rbase 9.5 on a Dell laptop with Win 8.1 and the crashes are still happening and it's so much slower. When I right-click on a control, and hit Object Property, it takes 3 seconds before it responds. My new laptop has 8 GB ram, and an Intel core i5-4200U CPU processor (1.6 GH to 2.3 GH). This has so much more Ram and GH than my old laptop, but it is so much slower that I thought maybe the problem was Windows 8.1. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can still return the laptop, but can't spend over $600 to replace it. Patti -- A democracy ..." can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury."
