	I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and Sesame Designer is locking up frequently. Am I in serious trouble?

	Which version of Sesame do you have? Also, please post the contents of your "Sesame.ini" file. (It's normally located in the C:\Sesame2 folder.)

	I'm using version 2.5.3. My .ini file is attached.

	I run (and develop) Sesame on a Windows 7 box frequently. No problems seen.

	Same here -- no problems under Win 7. By any chance are your data files on a network, not the local machine?

	It has to be something other than Sesame. Like many others have said, I have Sesame Designer on Win7 with no problems. Since you said it is a new machine, are you sure that components within the machine are not creating the problem? If the machine has a Diagnostic testing software (Many national brands like dell do) that may help you find any conflicts.

	I've narrowed it down to it happening when I click on the Preview Application button. I've attached the description of my computer. Could the new Core i7 be a problem?

Very doubtfully. I suspect that it has to do with configuration of your OS, not the OS itself. Look into security settings, anti-virus settings, firewall settings, network settings, etc. If none of those are out of the ordinary, you might also consider running a few hardware diagnostics, especially on memory and hard drive. Also, as Rick asked, are your files on the local machine or through the net? Also (again), when you say it "locks up" can you be more specific? Do you see the preview window? Is it locked up also? When SDesigner brings up the preview window, the SDesigner window is "locked" until the preview window goes away. Sometimes, WindowsOS is a bit willy-nilly about stacking order, and the preview window is obscured, causing the end user to see that the SDesigner window is locked, and since they don't see the preview window, they believe it is "locked up".

	When I click on the Preview App button, the program starts to load the preview but locks up the computer before it makes it to the application. Regarding the suggestions for diagnostics, virus protection settings, etc. I'm going to need to get my IT people involved. I'll let you know what they find.

It may the application files themselves. 1. Have you tried them on a different computer? 2. Are you client/server or standalone? 3. When you say that the "computer is locked up" do you mean that programs other than Sesame/SDesigner are also not responding? 4. Does your mouse move? 5. Have you looked at task manager to see if any process is using lots of CPU or network? 6. Are running SDesigner full screen? When SDesigner goes to preview mode, it does reload the application file from disk to memory. But the preview window, and indeed the entire code for Sesame runtime, is embedded in SDesigner. So there is no second process to load and execute.

	I've always run it on my computer, which is on a network but the .dsr file is on my local C: drive. By 'locked up' i mean that SDesigner is locked up. The mouse will move, the other programs continue to function fine. I've looked at the task manager and the CPU hog is SDesigner. I don't run SDesigner on full screen.

	Do you have any code in the On Application Open event? Does the application file (the .dsr) open in Sesame runtime? You can open .dsr files in runtime executable by specifying the filename on the command line: c:\MyPath\ToSesame\sesame.exe MyApplication.dsr
