FM9 Buggy UI Behavior

[Joseph]

Hi Syed,

My laptop has 2 GB of memory. I have had previous issues with this lap top
being buggy, though nothing like this. I suppose it could all be related,
but who knows? I am just glad that it isn't a defect with the product
because the more I use the UI the more I love it.

Sincerely,
Joe
