Media browser behaviour in X3 [Solved x 2]

When auditioning certain .wav files, the mouse cursor flickers between its normal state and the hourglass icon. As this is going on, the transport displays "building transient list." Clicking on some .rx2 shows the same mouse behaviour while the REX file is being extracted and the audio data is loaded. It's not a big deal but it takes away a few more micro seconds from the pleasure I get using X3. Any simple solutions?

Thanks very much for your response, Noel. I checked the same files on another machine (which is not as powerful as the one quoted in my signature) and the whole process is much faster - so much so that the delay is hardly noticeable. This leads me to suspect something may be going on with the video card, which was first suggested by a Cakewalk tech support person a while ago. It's a home-built job (my first) so maybe I've done something weird or have not done something normal and obvious. Sonar X3 also takes a long time to open on that machine, even though I've got an SSD drive. Sonar X2 did the same thing, which was when I first contacted the support team. Perhaps my efforts since then towards fixing the issue have not borne fruit. I might try posing these questions to the good folk in the Computers section of the forum, but if there are any further suggestions here I'm happy to take them onboard.

Cheers, Noel. The loops are on another disk. I defragged it and there is definite improvement with the loading of the wav files. So that's solved.
 
Now I've got to try to resolve the slow loading of X3 issue...perhaps that's a subject for another thread.

Fantastic, Noel. The antivirus software caused the issue. Loads up really fast now. I am a very happy camper/customer

Interesting. I was using Microsoft Security Essentials - turning that off made the difference. On another machine I use, I also use MS Essentials and have not experienced problems so far.
