Eudora

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

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, so there is direct comparison,
but a specific question I have for you is whether you are running it
under any compatibility mode? 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.


I do use a Eudora patch recommended here

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.
