ASE Freezes when it updates WX

[Fluxuated 0]

Just started using ASE, after Using Activesky6.5 for ages with no problems. FSX Freezes as soon as the Green Bar pops up to show its updating, and stutters, until all stations are updated. I searched the forums, and Jim, says to make sure virus software is not scanning the files. Which files? I'm using AVAST. Any other ideas, or does this sound like the culprit. Thanks.

Hi, In ASE, General Options, please try another Depiction Mode. I have the feeling you are using Standard. I suggest Direct Weather Control. Also, turn off the In sim text messages, on that same page.

That may have done it, thanks Jim.
