  1. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    When I open TMG to the Welcome screen and click Last to load my project it takes 13-14 minutes to load my project. When I open TMG to the Welcome screen and click Sample, wait for it to load, File Close Project, File 2 (my project) it takes 3-4 minutes thus saving 10 minutes. I have only been loading my project from the Welcome screen. Susan
  2. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    Yes, I run Optimize, Validate File Integrity, Optimize because I read on the Forum someplace that you should always run Optimize after Validate File Integrity. No, I do not have DropBox. I can email my project since it is not large with only 774 people. Should I email just the backup of the project or do you want some of my other files excluding the exhibits? Susan
  3. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    Yes, I have 8 processors. The consumption is normally spread across only 4 processors according to the usage graphs. Susan
  4. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    Sorry, I missed your post while trying to respond to another one. It takes the same amount of time to load the project if it is moved to the default project folder. Susan
  5. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    I tried the Performance Tab of Task Manager and CPU Usage was very constant at 12% and Memory at 2.23-2.24 GB for opening the Project once TMG had already been opened with a project and then the project (not TMG) had been closed. Susan
  6. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    Yes, all of the paths are listed in Preferences / Current Project Options / Advanced. Susan
  7. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    In Windows Explorer I have the following directory structure: C: C:TMGv8 C:TMGv8Backups C:TMGv8Configuration_files C:TMGv8Exhibits C:TMGv8ExhibitsFamily8 C:TMGv8ExhibitsNewer-TMG-8 C:TMGv8ExhibitsNew-Ver8 C:TMGv8Export C:TMGv8Projects C:TMGv8ProjectsFamily8 C:TMGv8ProjectsNewer-TMG-8 C:TMGv8ProjectsNew-TMG-8 C:TMGv8ProjectsNew-Ver8-Transition C:TMGv8Repet_files C:TMGv8Report_output C:TMGv8Slideshow C:TMGv8Timelines C:UsersSusanMy DocumentsThe Master Genealogist v8 … This includes …ProjectsSample And also …Logs which is actually used by the projects in C:TMGv8Projects and will not work if moved to C:TMGv8Logs This data structure is almost 3 years old and we started using it when one of our members was using different names for himself on different computers and we had to help him rebuild it. Also our members were having trouble finding their reports since the file destinations were not consistent. Yes, the Sample data loads quickly. As a result of that test, I now know that I can open TMG, click sample, wait for it to load, click File Close Project, click File 2 (for my project) and it will all load within 3 minutes. This reduces the loading time for my data by 10 minutes. Susan
  8. TMG 8.06 very very slow

    I am having the same problem with version 8.08. Were you able to figure out your problem? Susan Moore
  9. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    No, it still took 13 minutes to load from Select instead of last. My files are stored on the hard drive under C:TMGv8 just like they have been for years. Everyone else in our group also stores files in the same place so that when I give them my reports they do not need to change the output destination and can find their reports. Susan
  10. Journal Report problem with MS Word 2010

    Are you using an extension of doc or docx? The docx files are much smaller and may fit within the size limitation. Also the extension rtf is available and is about 1/3 the size of a doc file. Susan Moore
  11. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    Here are my efforts to find the problem: While restarting my computer in between each of the changes, I deleted Belarc Advisor I disabled the Wireless Network and then VIPRE Anti-Virus Malwarebytes is the free version so it does not run in the background. I manually update and run it. I ran it in safe mode and it did not find any malicious items. I do not have a disk monitoring program or a disk backup program running. I do not have DropBox since I restored the computer. I also disabled Adobe Acrobat Update Service and Skype Updater I also disabled Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager and Task Manager. I deleted HP SimplePass, since I did not want it anyway and it was an extra process in Task Manager. None of this made any difference in loading my project; it still takes 13-14 minutes to load. My Systray contains: Controls Beals Audio Settings, HP CoolSense - On, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, Solve PC Issues (Backup), VIPRE, Battery Level, Wireless Network, Speakers and Headphones Muted. I compared the Services Tab of Task Manager with my sister who has an identical computer although not the same programs and is not having any trouble with hers. The differences were that she has Kaspersky and I have VIPRE. Her printer files were included in the list and mine were not. She also has Windows Mobile. I have Machine Debug Manager. I do not know if I can disable this safely. Comparing the Processes Tab of Task Manager there are more differences. I have nvvsvc.exe (NVIDIA), SBAMTray Application (VIPRE) and Print driver host for 32 bit applications. She also has a number of extra applications. Are there any issues with Internet Explorer 10? Is there a process or service that I should have deleted? Susan
  12. TMG 8.08 Loads my project very slowly

    I am trying to determine the offending program which would be the best solution rather than a problem with the project. What kind of programs do you consider background programs? Are you meaning the programs I included in my email or something more obscure under the processes and services tabs of the Task Manager? Are there some programs that are more likely to cause a problem? Thanks for the offer to help.
  13. I actually use the reference field with the pattern of 1-8 for the first digit representing the family line of my great-grandparents, followed by the first letter of their surname (just to make it easier to remember), then a dash and the TMG ID number in a five digit format with leading zeros. Some of the people in our user group with more people use a six digit ID number instead of five. I sort by reference number but select by a flag called Book Order set to Y. This does require the ID numbers to be in the correct sequence but only within each of my 8 lines because the first digit of the reference number takes care of the chapter sort for each line. To determine the Book Order values I use the ahnentafel numbers with an Excel spreadsheet up to 20 generations and then manually figure out the higher generations which sounds complicated I know, but most people do not have that many lines beyond 20 generations. I am looking for the twigs that would not be picked-up by another report. Susan Moore
  14. Copy tag makes TMG 8.08 very slow

    Did you need to copy the Tag Type or just the tag? I have copied tags for the U.S. Federal Census years and I copy just the tag with the roles. I also created a few words to reduce the roles using the male and female sentence. My roles include parent-in-law and sibling-in-law along with the obvious roles of child, parent, sibling, grandchild and family. Family covers all of the other relationships for a related person. I do not know if this will make a difference in speed. After reinstalling 8.08 and restoring my last backup from 8.04 instead of 8.06 and reentering my skipped data for about a month my speed returned to normal. However in just the last day it has slowed down again when I load my database or click on a tag to edit in the Tag Type List. I have not edited my tags except to turn the Tag Label Colors to a custom color or back to the default for at least 10 days. Maybe the speed problem is caused by something else.
