Berson Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 I have had a similar problem. Every time I execute Retrospect, the longer I am in it the slower my machine runs. This happens even though I am only reading help files, or browsing in the various windows (and thus not even accessing my backup data; see later). The first symptom I notice is that the mouse does not respond smoothly, and as time passes there are increasing delays before it responds or any computing progresses. And sometimes I can't close Retrospect except by turning the computer off - the response even to CTL-ALT-DEL is too slow. When I ran a recycle backup, the Retrospect log showed a duration of about 6 hr 30 min, and the Windows clock advanced the same 6:30. But in real time, about 41 hours elapsed! I am running Windows 98 Second Edition. What is the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natew Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi Can you post the OS version you are using? Do you have any USB card readers attached to the machine? If so try disconnecting them and try to launch Retrospect again. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
