Re: a problem with windows 7
No, it happens even with simple projects with only one sprite.
I think that there is a conflict with windows 7. I tried many times even restarting the computer. When scratch is off the situation returns to normal.
Thanks anyway.

Re: a problem with windows 7
I looked at your computer specs and it's speed is only 2.5 gigahertz, which is very low for a computer. Your computer is only one-core from what I see, and that, by today's standards, is really really slow. If you upgrade your processor to 2.5 GHZ dual-core you will have an average computer.
I think a 3 GHZ speed is good enough for a processor-intensive program like Scratch.

True, but my dual-core 1.46GHz processor runs Scratch fine with Skype, Tweetdeck, and Google Chrome all running in the background. (Although I am running XP Professional SP3, not Windows 7)

I know. But the other computers I've installed scratch on are all IBMs and they all have a Pentium 4 CPU with 1 core. Around 2 GHZ. It runs scratch fine. It just go a bit loud sometimes. But it doesn't use up all cpu...
Hai.

Yes. That's 3 Ghz, and it's more than enough.

1.46GHz?? How can you live with that? I have a 2.26GHz processor and even it is too slow for what I need.

What operating system are you running?

Dual core processor != Two processors.
I wish.

Mac OS X 10.6.4 (the newest, not that it matters)

Well, a 300MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM is recommended to run Windows XP (my OS). 1 GB of RAM is listed as minimum for OS X 10.6. (I haven't found a clock speed requirement, but since the recently updated iMacs on Apple have around 3GHz processors, and Windows 7 requires around 1.5GHz, I'd guess that it requires around 1.5 - 2 GHz to run decently. So doing some math,
Clock Speed
Me: Required 300MHz, has 1.46GHz = has 1.16GHz to spare
You: Required est. 1.5 - 2 GHz, has 2.26GHz = has 0.76 - 0.26 GHz to spare.
So I'd say my computer has more processing power to spare, thus my processor is generally fine for me.
