TextPad 8 works on my local SSD, no write delay.

Interesting difference. I will try when I get a chance, thanks.

Has anyone tried 7.6 or 8.0 with an SSD?
Any improvement?

As mentioned above, I don't think anti-Virus SW is a likely cause: that would not explain why NotePad, WordPad, Word can write to the local C: files fine, just TextPad has the delay. Windows Updates also are not an issue, I am current, have rebooted, etc. With another SSD user having the same ...

My documents are at C:\Users\schulz\Documents, but C: is a SSD. Maybe SSD writing is an issue, I didn't think of that before?

Large files on network is not the issue; small files are slower locally than on the network. But the Downloads location gave me a clue. I hadn't tried that location, and noticed that first save on a new local location is immediate, but later cannot update that same file without delays. So maybe ...

I have checked various other things, error-checked and defragmented disk (no errors, only was 10% defragged anyway). But those wouldn't explain why NotePad and Word can save immediately on the same C drive file, but TextPad delays for up to 30 seconds.

No one else seeing similar problem?

Virus SW is low-profile on corporate PC, I can't actually turn if off. But didn't have this problem on previous PC with same virus SW and previous TextPad. TextPad is working fine on H (net) files, so not sure how other SW would delay just writes to C, but not H. Don't think its a virus SW or disk ...

TextPad 7.5.1 (64-bit), Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit version. I can save changes instantly on a network drive, but not on local C drive. Save on local drive (C:\...) e.g. My Documents folder, hangs for up to 30 seconds with "Writing: C:\..." in status bar, then after save, cursor doesn't unlock for ...

I agree that regedit makes me nervous, as too dangerous for manual error. I would prefer the right entries be automatically handled.

I updated the spelling topic -- did get it to work after 2nd reinstall try w. reboot.

Retried, got spelling to work.
I rebooted after uninstall, regedit clean, so either I missed an entry during 1st try, or reboot is important.

I also don't like monkeying around in registry, as it can be dangerous.

P.S. I did clean via regedit before install.

I uninstalled, then reinstalled w. 5.0.3, but spelling still does not work for me. I get same error.

I tried this uninstall, then reinstalled w. 5.0.3.
But spelling still doesn't work. I get the same error as in http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php ... t=spelling (General, Spelling not working in 5.0.2?)
