Did you check out the Corel newsgroup I mentioned? Your'e quite apt
to get some good advice there; most know what's up with your program.

My newsfeed doesn't carry that group.


Corel's newsgroups are on a private server, and general purpose servers
don't carry it. It's cnews.corel.com. I see that you use Outlook Express,
which handles multiple news servers with ease.

Please reply to the newsgroup



Now, here are the questions that should have been asked first and
right away:
-- Describe the task at hand, AND why you think you are using the
correct tool for the task.
-- Have you done disk cleanup? Start | Programs | Accessories |
System Tools | Disk Cleanup
-- Followed by Defrag? Same as above but Disk Defragmenter
-- Cleared internet cache?
-- Have you checked Event Viewer for errors and warnings?
-- Do you have any scanners, such as anti-virus heuristics and/or
scanning every file you create/modify/move?
-- Have you attempted to use MSConfig to stop background tasks and
other programs that load at startup to see if it helps the speed?
Always be disconnected from the 'net when doing power operations.
-- MSConfig is a TOOL; NOT an answer to the problem. It's how to
find the problem, verify it, but not to fix it.
-- Do you make sure all other programs are shut down on the desktop?
The above will give you more processor attention and much more
effieicnt use of current RAM plus might make the rendering tiem
acceptable. I just have a problem imagining "rendering" time
beign unacceptable for a "picture". But that might be because I
don't know what "rendering" means, to you or "picture" for that
matter<g>.

Did all that. I will just end up experimenting.

thanks,
