OK, I'll give the set up idea a try. I think I upgraded properly and I'm able to record and play projects and jaws seems to working alright when using the CT program in sonar. I turned off the unecessary meters as instructed by Bill. Thanks for your help, I'll get back to you after I follow some of your ideas.

And when you do, list here all you've done so we don't cover the same ground again. Make sure your window settings are correct, refer to the CT setup files. There are two of them that you should go through which are in the setup menu for CT. Then go through lesson 57 of CT which deals with troubleshooting playback and recording problems HF ----- Original Message ----- From: THOMAS DE ROSA To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 4:57 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: problems after upgrade Phil, I turned them off and I still get the performance problems, dropouts and sluggish. Do you have any other ideas.

I just upgraded to CTW 5.2 and jaws 7.0. I am getting a poor response lots of dropping out and slow performance when I open a project and try to do some work. Prior to the upgrade the software performed much better an occasional dropout but nothing like this. I would greatly appreciate any ideas, I'm a novice so I'm pretty lost. Almost forgot and this might be the most important piece, I also upgraded the pc's memory to 1.3 gig. I'm not having any problems in Outlook or any other programs. Thanks Tom
