4.8 needs to be accelerated

Postby 900t » Thu 06 Nov, 2003 5:12 pm

I used Communicator on a 180mhz Pentium, 32mb ram and a 33600bps modem.

It was reasonably fast.

Now I want to use it on my Windows 2000, 850mhz Celeron, 128mb ram and a 56k modem, but it is noticably slower than the 33.6 one!

I use Opera regularly, but i like 4.8's interface.

Communicator is ancient, probably why it doesn't function too good on your Windows 2000 machine. Use Mozilla Firebird instead :)

To speed up Communicator, disable Java from the Communicator and also from Windows' control panel.
