Hi all, I've been using Acdsee for my images and albums but program works quite slow on my pc. Any other recommendations?

I have used 3 different versions of ACDSee for some 10 years now and it has never run slow. Currently I am using ACDSee 8 (in x86 mode) with my W7 i7 and 6GB DDR3 laptop and it works just fine. My previous computer was a PC with Windows ME, 1GB SDRAM and an Athlon T'Bird CPU where I had v 2.43 and 3.1 and no probs there either. Perhaps there is another problem with your PC.

I don't know the spec of your system and I admit to guessing here, but maybe if you have lots of albums actually stored in ACDSee, then that could slow the program. Is there some way of indexing them to speed up access? I don't store any albums actually in the program, because all my pics are on separate USB pen drives.

You could buy a fast access USB pen drive like a Patriot XT or even store your albums in My Pictures. In My Pictures you could ask Windows to index all the pics (if it isn't set up to do it automatically anyway), and there's Windows thumbnail cache as well. All you have to do is set up ACDSee as the default program to view the pics and handle all the file types.
