image resize takes forever

[sciencegal]

When I resized an image in PSPx3 it would resize in an instant. Now using PSPx7 it takes forever. I sit there watching the green bar slowly fill up. I'm only resizing from like 300px to 182px in width. It's not like it's a huge resolution to a small one. I have quite a few to do which at this rate will take forever. Is there some setting making it take so long? I'm about ready to go back to x3.

I do not experience that delay
In all cases using PSP X7 version 17.1.0.72 (Service Pack 1 (SP1))
On XP 32 bit version , no delay in resizing.
On windows 7 both 32 and 64 bit versions again no delay in resizing.

I took a large jpg image and cropped out a section 300 x 200 pixels.
Then resized that to 182 pixels on the long side and in all cases no delay.

I would look further on your system for something else that may be slowing it down.
Have you done a reset of PSP (hold the shift key down while starting it up.

Unless you can find the exact sequence that causes this and have it duplicated by other users , we cannot really search for a solution.
Have you installed SP2 ( I have not at this stage and only using it with SP 1 installed)
