Saying that I have recently installed a new anti-virus program.

Which one did you get and which did you have?

And did you remove the previous one?

no editors and yeh i have my antivirus running but its never posed any problems before.

i started a new game running the same amount of leagues as before (i.e when it ran perfectly).

ill also add i reformatted my computer but that didnt make a difference.

That does seem to suggest that something is horribly wrong.

Although your Antivirus hasn't caused you problems before the patch, have you tried disabling it anyway and seeing if it makes a difference?

It is certainly worth a try.

If you have already tried this unsuccessfully, it would be worth you starting a new thread in the Bugs forum and detailing the problem so it can be investigated. </BLOCKQUOTE>

yeah ive disabled it. and still no difference.

i opened task manager, and ran FM and the page file rose again to 1.5gb slowing FM down to a crawl.

Stupid thing really. I had a paid version of AVG which had ran out and I had not renewed for some time.

I decided to scrap the out of date one and decided to download the free version.

I didn't uninstall the old version as the free version removes it on installation.

Since the new patch my computer is so much slowly. the page file usage goes up from 400mb ish up to nearly 1.5gb and RAM goes from 800mb available to around 10mb.

If im correct those syptoms sounds like a memory leak. but im no expert. i just know this new patch has changed something for me.

P.S this isnt the usual 'i hate SI rubbish'! because i dont

just wondering if its happened to anyoen else

Yes, I have noticed it is a tad slower? since the new patch. Nothing has changed as far as my specs.

i guess im not the only one.

its a shame really cause i like to run FM in windowed mode while listening music and the internet which my computer handled perfectly before the new patch but barely responds now

That shouldn't really cause any problems.

I currently have AVG free, FM08, Firefox running and am watching the Liverpool reserves with windows media player and don't seem to be having any issues.

Sorry I can't help.

Would definitely be worth raising this in the bugs forum to see if it something that can be resolved.
