Have I already missed the "Isn't the bundled tbook/daybook slow" discussion, or am I just doing it all wrong? 25 MHz 386, 4Mb RAM, Orchid Pro Des 2 (1024X768X256), Smartdrive @ 1024 256 4Mb permanent swap. Runs like treacle for me, not the graphics, the processing! E.G., After dragging an icon to a day in the month to view, it takes *ages* before you get control back. No disk IO appears to be going on. Same sort of thing if you bin an item from a day. Do I need a super-pif??? I *need* to run in 386 enhanced mode since I background DOS tasks. M**rosoft say: "You are being held in a queue for windows 3. There are currently more than six calls......" ... and eventually, "Er yes, run it in Standard mode...." I've tried upping the Smartdrive params to no effect. Any ideas?? (Please feel free to reply here, but I more frequently read my email at another address: derek@aivru.sheffield.ac.uk ) Thanks Derek Jones -- Automatic Disclaimer: The views expressed above are those of the author alone and may not represent the views of the IBM PC User Group. --
