4.25 Very Slow While 4.20 Was Good

[bbelvin]

Upgraded to 4.25 from 4.20 (both with plugins). No problem with 4.20, 4.25 was very slow -- close to freezing.

Uninstalled 4.25, reinstalled 4.25 still slow. Uninstalled 4.25 and installed 4.20. 4.20 runs fine.

Running: Windows XP SP3, Dell Optiplex GX620, 1G Ram.

Hi bbelvin,

I had once Irfanview (I still use version 4.23) rather slow to display its window. I noticed it was after having opend images on a (network) drive no more connected when I launched IrfanView once again. Could this be the reason for you?

exact same issue

I was having the same problem (see below). What fixed it was going to view>display options> and turning off use sampling on zooming and fitting. I guess these are either new features or for some reason they get flipped on when upgrading? shrug.

---------------------------------Ignore this part--------------------------

I just upgraded from 4.20 to 4.25. I used to be able to select an area and click and zoom right in almost instantly. Now, I have a 2-3 second delay. I also used to be able to use the paint tools (cloning, to be specific) without much delay. Now, I am getting a 2-3 second delay on that as well.

I am using XP. I have actually had the same tool problem at home on my Vista machine with an older version of Irfanview.

I guess my best bet here is to downgrade back to 4.2?

Either that or read some threads or check out the options on the View menu.
