Slow computer Boxer[ at ]emanon.net 3/1/2007 10:52:18 PM My trial of OneNoe 2007 will run out soon. I've installed and uninstalled several times. It seems the computer slows to a crawl and my cursor gets large and black with OneNote installed. Uninstalling seems to help. However, I really would like to use this program. It's well designed and pleasing to look at. I realize the locking up of other programs when OneNote is running in the background may be coincidental. I'm running XP Pro with a gig of memory and 50 gigs of empty hard drive. All this comes to a a head because I received WordPerfect's free Lightning note program today. It may work fine, but it's ugly. Any suggestions how I isolate the trouble? Many thanks. Boxer

Re: Slow computer Wyel <harris6091[ at ]comcast.net> 3/2/2007 2:38:42 PM I rarely leave it on overnight. Since the original install and all the recent ones are new, there should be little to nothing in OneNote. Unless--does it index the entire hard drive? If so, I don't think I need that. Not yet anyway. Where do I turn it off until I get to know the program? Thanks.
