1) I downloaded the newest update, but cannot find the prayer lists. Does anyone know where they are in the software.

2) I'm having a bit of trouble using Logos 4 in an effective manner on my laptop. Specs are below. Can anyone take a look them and make recommendations as to how to improve on the specifications?

WIndows 7 Home Premium - 32 bit

AMD Turion(tm) 64 dual-core processor; 1.90 GHz

3.19 GB RAM (4 GB installed)

150 GB Internal Drive

1 Terabyte external drive (where Logos is currently installed)

    Bryan, while I wish you were using the 64 bit version of windows (seeing you have 64 bit processor), it is robust enough. Mine is an intel processor 2.2 core 2 duo, and the same ram.

    My prayer list is still on the home page. Click on file and the prayer list should show up on that menu.

    Having Logos installed on the external drive may be a reason its a bit slow

    Aren't prayer lists one of the coming attractions that are now in the beta?

    Also, if L4 is on the external hard drive, I would think this would really slow down the program.

    You can add or modify prayer lists from the file tab. As far as I know this feature is only available in the 4.0b Beta and RC 1 releases. If you are running 4.0a it is not available.

    That would be the problem. I thought I could just run a simple update to get it.

    ....nope!

    That may not be the case. On one of my Macs I run Logos from a virtual machine on an external drive, so the entire OS is loading from a virtual drive. I was surprised to find that this didn't really slow things down. I would imagine it wouldn't slow things down much to just install L4 on an external drive.

    A drive's speed is dependent on the connecting bus.  If he's using USB 2.0 Hi-Speed, it tops out at 480Mbps.  Whereas a conventional SATA drive can transfer at 1.5 Gbps (or more depending on the cache and the SATA spec). Plus if the external USB drive is connected via a USB hub, it's only half-duplex, which slows it down further (I found it out the hard way).
