lately
when i press CTRL + F
and search through my library
the GUI freezes all the time
and CPU goes 100%
every letter i type the software freeze
and sometimes it stays on 100 for a few seconds
very annoying and scary to work like that
any idea why is that ?

using
lenovo t5300 1.73 ghz
2gb ram
nvidia geforce 7300 go
sl3
1.9.2 software
external hd 5400 rpm western digital
internal hd 7200 rpm 320 gb hitachi
using 2 cdj 400 pioneer as hid controller

Is the processor dual core?

Do you also have music on the internal HD?

Does the audio cut out during these pauses on the screen?

yes it's a dual core
i have music on the internal + external
the audio doesn't stop between pauses..

If you disconnect your external and just play videos from the internal, do you get the same screen pauses?

i don't use videos
the gui freezes not the video

If you disconnect the external and play around some, do you still get the pauses?

How much free space do you have on both of your drives?

i have 75gb of 253gb on D Drive (my music drive)
and about 200-300gb of 930gb on external
when i unplug the external it works better
but still not as good as it was before..

One thing that canhelp isif you have Analyzed all of the files in the library.

Do you have other applications open?

If you open your task manager, does Scratch Live take up 100% of the CPU?

Have you defragged your hard drives lately? That can always help too.

udi, has that ever been resolved for you?
