WOW - Beta 7 is a nightmare for me at present. See notes below, and also http://community.logos.com/forums/78.aspx which seems to be the same issue.
After install of Beta 7, the first startup took a MANY minutes sitting with just the banner / splash screen. Every other beta has been more like 20-45 seconds. Beta 6 used to start and go to my layout, with all as it was, in around 12-15 seconds.
Beta 7 is giving me many black screens as the other thread above.
Opening a new resource takes maybe 30 seconds, and maybe a black screen for a while. Beta 6 was 2-3 seconds.
Hover over a verse ref in B7, takes 10 seconds to display, B6 was 1-2 seconds tops.
A Passage Guide on B7 tooks a few minutes, and many black screens (not responding message). B6 was 15-20 seconds.
I will attempt to debug / log / monitor Windows etc for clues and report anything additional I can find. Few clues yet, but the memory usage graphs seems to grow very high. Around 400 MB at present.
My B6 install was to default locations, and an admin user account, on Vista32, with 4 GB RAM (so 3).
My B7 is on the same PC, non-admin account, completely fresh install from nothing. But to
\Logos4 directory, not default (in user app etc).
For me at least, B7 is unusable. I still have my B6 so will attempt to compair and provide "facts" if I am able, to assist with whatever is going on here.
