Text Lag with "Platform?"

[geedub]

Hello, all:
I am attempting to begin work for that place...you know...but I have not been able to get the "platform" working correctly for me. When typing, there is often a lag in time it takes for characters to appear on screen. Long and short, I often can't see what I'm typing until I am a word (and a typo) ahead. I've spent many, many hours with the tech support people to no avail. Their head honcho says it is a memory problem. I upgraded my RAM and have made many adjustments. Nothing! Has anybody got a smoking gun answer? I really love what this program can do, but I can't work like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi geedub,

First off, welcome to forum.

Now onto the pressing matter. Unfortunately, I do not have a quickie answer for you, wish I did. I had the problem with the previous platform we used, but so far (knock on wood) I have had no problems. The only thing that comes to mind is have you done a defrag and /or disk cleanup lately? My son suggested this to me when one of my other programs was lagging and it did work wonders.

Answer from Joi, (I tracked her down LOL)

Brenda -- your answer is the perfect start. I would also suspect spyware infestation and need to do thorough cleanup there. I'll probably post that article on lph in the next week because it's so important. If you could respond to her post by providing the link to lph and saying to look there for an answer on 12/8. It will be the only board displayed other than the editor's board that's currently showing.

Hope this helps
