Somehow or another I happened across the SC page a week or so ago and viewed the demo. I liked what I saw and downloaded a copy to try.
I loaded it two days ago and started trying it with a couple of different programs I would like to get screen shots of. After a while of that I closed down SC and started doing other work. I noticed that my other programs were running slower. I re-booted to see if that would help but it didn't. Each program I tried loaded slower and ran slower. Outlook, Adobe, Word, etc. Toolbars are opening slower, searches taking longer, etc. And when I would shut down in hibernate mode it even took longer.
So I un-installed SC using SC's un-install to see if I could get everthing back to speed. No luck. Everything is still running noticeably slower. I am even hearing some distortion out of the speaker at times. Hibernate is now taking over a minute to shut down and longer to start-up than when it was pre-SC. This is a laptop running XP Pro.
I really like the SC program and would like to donate and continue to use it. Any suggestions on what could have caused this? And how I can get things back to the way they were? Thanks.
