I would try very hard to check on anything that you may have changed with your computer since your earlier use of TMG. This might be adding some hardware, some other program (including an update to Windows), etc. While you say that other programs are not affected, they may be although most other programs don't require the resources that a database program like TMG does. Thus, other programs may be experiencing a slowdown as well, but the slowdown for them is not apparent. John Cardinal suggested a shutdown and restart of your computer. This is what I would try first. Next, I would run the TMG maintenance routines -- primarily the Verify File Integrity function (File=>Maintenance menu). Also Optimizing can make a difference. Let us know what you find - Lee

I tried the following:- 1 scanning using Malwarebytes which found nothing 2 reinstalling using the repair option 3 copying the sample project to a different drive and opening it from there 4 checking disc activity in Windows 7's Resource Monitor - there was nothing unusual None of these made any difference whatsoever. However I have now solved it using the hint about a printer driver in Performance Recommendations and Lee's suggestion about adding new hardware (thanks Lee). Last week we installed a new wireless printer and turning it on sorted out the problem. Turning it off again made TMG slow when editing. So the solution is to keep the printer on when using TMG. I am pleased that I solved it but wonder why TMG pauses to try and connect to the printer even if I don't want to do any printing. Does anybody know why?
