Whole OS slows down running LW Pro 4.9.37
 

Running LW Pro 4.9.37 on XP machine(P4) w/SP2, whenever I run it, my whole computer slows down, takes a long time to open anything, or minimze/maximize windows, clicking on start button takes about 45 secs or so before it opens up the menu......Now after closing LW, everything runs normal.
Java version is 1.5.0_05

Anyone here w/ similar problem or idea where I can look to resolve this???....THANX!!!!

You did not say how much RAM memory is in your PC, if you have less than 512MB you are going to struggle so I suggest that should be your minimum goal.

However, if you already have that amount of memory you should try to upgrade to 1GB.

Usually a PC slows down because of the amount of work it has to do in the amount of memory it has, e.g. run an anti-virus app (essential), a firewall (essential) and other protective software, all running simultaneously with LW and Java.

That lot will slow down all but the very latest PCs with loads of Ram.
