[LOGic] LOGIC 8 CONVERSION ISSUES

Sun Jun 25 23:08:46 EDT 2006

Hello group...
I recently upgraded to Logic 8 and am having growing pains.
I have browsed the manual but have not found the answers...if my questions
are covered in the manual, please steer me there, else any suggestions
welcomed!
1) In LOGIC 7, if I minimized the DX Summit Spotting window, it would
minimize into Windows (ie off the LOGIC screen); with LOGIC 8, it stays on
the LOGIC screen. How to get it to minimize like other Windows apps (ie off
the LOGIC screen)?
2) When I type a new call in the LOG window, the Callbook From Web window
does not go and search for the call. The only active search database is QRZ,
and it is at the top of the setup list.
4) Painfully long pauses while LOGIC (or DX Summit spotting?) does
something...I lose total control of the PC while some task grabs all system
resources. I am used to LOGIC doing this a little, but LOGIC 8 seems way
worse than LOGIC 7. The problem is not the PC or internet connection; as
soon as I exit LOGIC, things get nice and speedy. The PC here is not a
powerhouse, but is fairly current, and whatever delays LOGIC 7 had were
manageable...what has changed in LOGIC 8, and what can I tweak? Durings
these periods, Task Manager shows LOGIC 8 to be eating 90+ % of system
resources.
That's it for now...probably more to follow, but a little bit at a time.
Thanks and 73
Dan
