I would have to make a backup of every image first to be on the safe side and some are pretty elaborate with data setups that I needed for specific images.

Everything is local and I have 500 GB hard drive, with approximately 250GB of that being free space. It's not reproducible from file to file and some files aren't affected at all. The one time that I have noticed the issue is right after a Windows update and/or an update to my McAfee virus protection software. And to top it off, initially, some files did not have the issue, and then boom, all of a sudden, they did and vise-versa. The files are graphic-laded such as yours and very large (500+ pages with 200+ images) and all the images are PNGs with up to a max of around 900 bytes. I don't have the option at this stage in the game to convert the files and reimport, so I am just stuck, but if anyone else can give insight into this, it would be sincerely appreciated. It's a real time-killer for me and FWIW, I did not have this issue with the exact same files in FM7 or FM8!</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>TVB</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Tammy Van Boening</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Owner/Principal</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Spectrum Writing, LLC</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.spectrumwritingllc.com" target="_blank">www.spectrumwritingllc.com</a></span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>TammyVB *AT* spectrumwritingllc *DOT* com</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com" target="_blank">framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a> [<a href="mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com" target="_blank">mailto:framers-bounces@lists.frameusers.com</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Stuart Rogers<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, March 26, 2015 5:05 PM<br><b>To:</b> '<a href="mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com" target="_blank">framers@lists.frameusers.com</a>'<br><b>Subject:</b> extremely slow PNG loading</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:18.0pt;color:black'>Hi Framers,<br><br>FM 10 (TCS 3.5), Win 7 64-bit, 16 GB RAM, i7 CPU<br><br>I have a two-page file that imports by reference 24 different small PNG files, many of them repeated several times, for a total of 75 images.
