TweakVista Runs Very Slowly

Slow on my HP TC4400

from Stardock Forums
Starting up TweakVista goes ok, but CPU usage runs way up (not pegged, just high) and clicking on anything results in a looooooong pause, then a very slow activation of whatever control was clicked on. And in Services-Features, a mouse hover, which is supposed to cause a 10 second delay, then the pop-up box takes 8...14...22...31 seconds to "fade" in. The numbers (8, 14, 22, 31) were the "fade" opacity changes.

It takes about eight seconds to change pages, from the time you click on the left menu item. If I click again in that time, Vista changes the title bar to "not responding".

Anyone seen this?

We've made some tweaks in the final release build to improve performance, but honestly there should have been nothing like what you are getting there. It suggests that there is some kind of incompatibility with your computer.

You could try renaming the wbocx32.ocx file in the program directory to disable the skinning and see if that improves it. The new build also only queries hard disks when you are on the appropriate page, which may improve things for you if that is the problem.
