Maybe someone can give me some pointers on what is going on. I have 2 systems connected via a rounter that I run SL on. I have 3 accounts (1'st free, and 2 paid). On the old system I can have all 3 account up and they all run, just a little slow. On the new much faster system I can only load 2 accounts. If I try to load the 3rd it takes a very long time to load (like 10 min) and once it loads It will run veryslow if at all. The first 2 work find. I can even minimize the first 2 wich shows the system as running at around 35% idle, and the 3rd copy of SL will show around 50% of cpu but still not responding.


Does anyone know of any settings in XP that may be causing this (both systems running XP) or other things to look at?

old system
CPU - 1.5 p4
mem - 512mb
Video - 512radeon 9200 - pci

New System
CPU - Duel core 3.0 p4
mem - 2 gb
Video - Geforce 7800 GTX pci-express


BTW - I have already cleaned up XP to get rid of a lot of the standard junk.

On the dual core system, have you set SL to run on only one core? SL doesn't do well with a dual core CPU.

More about this here.

Same window sizes? Maybe your new system has a better monitor, and you are running on a higher resolution, and the windows LOOK the same size, but consist of more pixels?
