Funny, I’m just trying to move away from Eudora. It’s fine in every respect except the ability to display HTML well. Outlook. which I’m using to reply here, is not good, by the way. I answer your specific questions below. From: xywrite-bounce@xxxxxxxx [mailto:xywrite-bounce@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bill Troop Harry, I wonder if you could tell me a little more about the way you work with Eudora? The reason I ask is that I am finding my Win8 system a little sluggish although the hardware is all tops. I am finding this even if I am running very few programs (VMware/W2K, Eudora, Chrome Canary with few tabs). I believe you are running Win7, Yes. 32 bit version. so there is direct comparison, but a specific question I have for you is whether you are running it under any compatibility mode? No. In Win8, it will work without compatibility mode but at the moment I am running it in WinXP-SP3 compatibility mode, and am just about to switch that to 'none' to see if that was the problem. I now forget why I got into using this mode - - there may have been a crash or two. What symptoms am I experiencing? Now, for example, XyWrite is fine, but Eudora seems to take too much time doing things - - lagging. At the moment it is taking up about 110MB of memory even though only a dozen windows are open and I have often in the past had at least a hundred. With maybe 60 windows open, Task Manager shows the process as using 85MB. I suspect that something is set wrong in your system. Have you investigated speed tweaks for Win 8? By Googling?
That URL gives: Table './mytechs_mytechsupport/smf_sessions' is marked as crashed and should be repaired What is the patch supposed to do? although the links to the pre-made file are now dead. I have found this patch helpful rather than not. The instructions are still valid for anyone who needs it. Pity that the Eudora project was allowed to expire. Yes, tragic. Regards, Harry |
