slow configure / preferences

Post by markbravington »

I've (re)installed TextPad 4.6.2 on two new replacement machines, and on one of them Configure/Preferences takes >30s to open. The response on other (intrinsically slower) machine is instantaneous.

The registry settings were copied from one machine to the other, so should be the same. I do have some non-default folders, but AFAICS they all refer to my local hard drives, not to networked stuff.

Any help appreciated-- I'm customizing a lot at present, trying to get the new machines to work as well as my old ones did :(

Try and see if installing the latest release of TP (4.7.3) makes any difference.

Nope-- I've just installed 4.7.3 and still have the very-slow-configure problem :(

I had a similar problem, which I cured by deleting a strange shortcut to TextPad that appeared on the Programs menu. It didn't have the TexPad icon associated to it.

I suggest that you delete all of the shortcuts to TextPad that you can find, and see if that fixes the problem.
