John, I have found that the File/Open dialog does not have the sluggishness under XP that it does under Windows 7. XP uses a completely different Open/Save dialog that works perfectly. I have noticed another problem, though. In the list of directories and files, only directories are shown. The Files of Type combobox is set to XML files but none show up, even though I know they are there. No files show up at all. I tried changing the Files of Type combobox to All Files but there is no choice for that. Moving to the filename edit box and starting to type the filename gives you the autocomplete suggestion list just like it should. This is all with XP 32-bit on my VM and NVDA as a screen reader.
