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></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">TVB</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">Tammy Van Boening</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">Owner/Principal</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">Spectrum Writing, LLC</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.spectrumwritingllc.com" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.spectrumwritingllc.com">www.spectrumwritingllc.com</a></span><br data-mce-bogus="1"></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;">TammyVB *AT* spectrumwritingllc *DOT* com</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D" data-mce-style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: #1f497d;"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF

The PNG files are each about 900 bytes in size, all located in a subfolder of the folder containing the file. When I open this document, FM takes about 5 seconds to display each graphic (5-6 minutes to open the entire file). All files are on a local 180 GB SSD.<br> <br> I have converted all the PNG files to TIF and reimported into a copy of the file. The entire document opens in about 3 seconds.<br> <br> Has anyone else noticed this problem with PNG? That format has become my standard output for most purposes, but I'll have to change that if there isn't a fix in FM.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> <br> </span></p><pre>-- </pre><pre>Stuart Rogers</pre><pre>Technical Communicator</pre><pre>Phoenix Geophysics Limited</pre><pre>3781 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 3</pre><pre>Toronto, ON, Canada M1W 3K5</pre><pre>+1 (416) 491-7340 x 325</pre><pre> </pre><pre><a href="http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com">http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com</a><br data-mce-bogus="1"></pre></div><br><fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset><br><pre>_______________________________________________
