Thanks for your reply. I am running AVG2012 on this HP 2000 computer, and also on an 8 year old HP 4000 computer, and an Acer Aspire 7741Z. The Acer and this new computer are almost indentical, running Win7 Premium, 64-Bit, with external 1TB hard drive. The big difference is that the other computers are running 3.321 and 3.316.

I never upgarded all these years, because I believe, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The old programs worked great for me, and the only reason I'm upgrading now is for the "Tempo Change" feature. Otherwise I'd stick with what I have.

The play lists are all very big and open in less than 4 seconds on the other computers. Even the playlists that are 71 hours. I have about 80 playlists and have 5 or 6 open at all times. My playlist are setup mainly by genre. I have: 50's and 60's = 71 hours all alphabetically and keyed with the best arrangement of the song. I have "Oldies" = 21 hours, "Frank Sinatra" = 15 hours, "Country" = 37 hours and a typical customer, "St Andrews CC" = 16 hours. I don't have to select the best version when someone wants it, I have already made that decision for them. I also sing and take requests at nursing homes and during dinners at restaurants.

I have defraged the Drive also.
