I do not know if you intentionally misspelled the words especially and eighth or if you are demonstrating once again your ineptitude and lack of ability to use simple software. On the bottom of a post is a button to allow you to do a spell check. I have seen you write that you were studying to take your Masters exam so either you were lying now or before. Unless of course you are trying to unsuccessfully use sarcasm in your post.

I did not intentionally misspell anything.  I just misspelled the words, and paid no mind to the spell check button, which I suppose is attributable to my ineptitude and lack of ability to use simple software.  

AJ, I don't think you have ever seen me write.    I also don't think you saw my written words expressing my taking a "Masters exam."  What you may have seen is my written words expressing that I am working on my Master's Degree, and perhaps at one point I may have made mention of an exam for which I was preparing for a class toward that end.  It's all semantics anyway.  

I should know better than to use sarcasm in a post when communicating with the King of Sarcasm.  How foolish of me.    I think I'll go crawl back under my rock of ineptitude and lack of ability now, and leave this intelligent conversation to Gentlemen such as yourself.  

Have a wonderful Sunday.

Henry, just in case you need help with your own post:

Semantics:
1: the study of meanings: a: the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the signification of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic development.

Chit, there's another "S" word.

Signification:
1 a: the act or process of signifying by signs or other symbolic means

Grrrrr.

Symbolic: or Symbol
1: an authoritative summary of faith or doctrine : creed
2: something that stands for or suggests something else by reason of relationship, association, convention, or accidental resemblance; especially : a visible sign of something invisible <the lion is a symbol of courage

Grrrr..

Summary:
1..comprehensive; especially : covering the main points succinctly

This will never end.

Succinctly
2: marked by compact precise expression without wasted words <a succinct description>

I thought it was "is one"  as in, "I is one of dem contractors..."

In my circles, we just call them mercenaries...they dig that.   

not really, but I love calling them that

What was your base install?  How many versions have you upgraded from already?  I learned that you can get the most recent download and not required to install the older version first- you should have an account on the Garmin page and can get your key from there.

On an older laptop I have, I had upgraded from Version 5 or so from my older GPS (60CS), but this was the first install on this PC.  So there are not 3 or 4 other versions of crap hanging in the system and mapsource/garmin folders.  That is what I am referring to.

Also, I have found that Mcafee is not catching the spyware that Spydot does.  Try MS Defender if you are having issues.  I have run both against the same machine and found that Spybot had better definition files and knew to catch more.  Your stuff is only as good as the last update also, so if you don't have new definition files, you are just scanning with old information.  I am running DoD provided McAfee that is part of a suite, pretty sure it is the same as you can buy - but not definite.  Since I use this to access USMC systems for Outlook Web Access and Marine On-Line I get to download these for free. 

But again, I am running a duo core 1.5 with 2 gb of ram, Mapsource is set to high and it just smokes along - no issues. 

You might want to bump your performance settings up, increase virtual memory/swap file settings to eek out some more performance.

Sean, I think it was v4 that I installed. I don't have the disk here in SC to check. I then upgraded to 6.13 as soon as I loaded the original. From there I went to 6.14.1, the latest. Regardless of how slow it runs, it still does not preform the feature that v6.13 did. You used to be able to drag a route to a new waypoint and it would recalculate it fro you. You can no longer do this. You also used to be able to right click on a route to choose from multiple ones that may be overlapping.
I am going to take your advice and get a copy of spybot. Linda just told me she has a copy. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks again.

  Thanks.

I don't mean to open any old threads (or arguments) but I have to let everyone know that I reinstalled Mapsource 6.13.7 and what a world of difference! Much, much better! Thank you d00d for the link to the old version. I am not sure exactly what changes were made, but whatever they were I personally like the older version better.

Me too!  Reinstalled 6.13.7 and will stay with it for sure.
