Hi.. I've got RecordNow9 MusicLab Premier- they tell me this is included with EMC9-

Basically, takes me FOREVER to do ANYTHING!

If I try to open sound editor, program hangs greater than 3 minutes..

If I try to escape, program hangs..

Tried e mailing support, to no avail.. no answer!

have read everything I can, manuals are hopeless, since they are completely DISorganized..


Would greatly appreciate help in being able to navigate and use the program--

Am running XPSP2, all other applications are closed when I'm "trying" to use it, plenty of memory, pc defraged, no other issues..

Many thanks in advance..

That shouldn't be happening, kidneystones. With a half-decent machine your delays shouldn't be more than a second or so, and certainly not 3 minutes to open a program.

Have you checked in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del, use the Performance tab) to see how large your CPU usage is? The graph there can show you when any excess load is arriving if you open Task Manager before you open RecordNow. You can also see how much of your swapfile is being used in case the memory footprint is too big.

If your CPU is being over-used by something, the Processes tab will tell you what is running, and what is using the big percentage of CPU time.

This might give you some idea of what is happening.

Brendon

Hi Brendon,

Thanks for your reply-

I've tried task manager before opening roxio.. not much going on.. but---

when it hangs, and I open it, it fluctuates between 46-68-84% back and forth.. and the only process that seems to occupy a lot is roxio..

Quite honestly, I'm not well acquainted as to how to utilize task manager beyond what I've described above--

any suggestions or help you can offer is greatly appreciated..

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.. couldn't find my orig post..

Thanks in advance..
