Hey Choo.
No, it's not just you. I thought it was me. It's been going slow opening to edit or create, like you, and sometimes preview is really slow. Opening the window to select pictures is too at times. I'm sorry I didn't see this before today but looking at your original post date, I think it was fine for me then. Not now.
I'm on Vista, FF, 2G and wireless... have no idea speed there but 'tain't bad.
I'd never run error check and just went to find it... right in front of me. lol Anyway, that ran pretty fast.
edit... I can see everything, but the loading wheel thingy is still turning on that listing.
It does that all the time and I hit stop to make it go away.
