November 11, 200718 yr Hi, I wasn't sure where this thread should go because I'm not really sure if it's a hardware issue, I really think this is a software problem. I didn't seem to have this problem before. So anyway, my problem is that if a download a scenery for example when I extract it to my FS directory it is really slow, doesn't matter how big each file is it is really really slow anyone else have this problem before? I can install my megascenery or any other program from CD/DVD to HD and it's normal, but extracting from HD to HD is incredibly slow, took me almost 40 minutes to extract a 40mb scenery to my FS directory. I've used "smartclose" and shut everything down, but it still moves slow. Here is what I have, I've got a C2Duo E6600, 3 gigs of RAM and a 7600GT vid card. FS9 runs great, so there is no slowdown anywhere else on the computer. Now I have my 250 GIG HD broken up into three partitions, C, D, and E. FS is on E:, and Windows is on C: D: is where I download to, I've always used this setup and have never had any issues, also, even if I download directly to E: where my FS is, it will still extract slowly, so it's not a problem of extracting from one partition to the next. I have no idea wat could cause this. Please help. Thanks.Jeff Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
November 11, 200718 yr Sounds like something amiss with either your pagefile or the drive where your pagefile is located. If you have a program like PerfectDisk you could try an offline defrag of the pagefile. And make sure you're not running out of space on the drive where the pagefile is located.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
November 11, 200718 yr Author Thanks Bob, good suggestion, never thought to check that.Jeff Jeff Commercial | Instrument | Multi-Engine Land AMD 5600X, RTX3070, 32MB RAM, 2TB SSD
November 12, 200718 yr Hi Jeff,Also, it might be worth running CHKDSK ( Drive: ) /F /R from the Command Prompt on each of your partitions to root out any errors. The C: (primary/active) partition will almost certainly require a reboot to complete.Edit: I am assuming you are still on XP. Not sure whether this still works under VISTA.Mike
