I am glad that there are users out there who don't find the Prescription Writer slowdown to be a "deal breaker". Unfortunately for us, we have suffered with this problem since January, 2011, as I previously stated. I believe that this slowdown started with either 5.0.29 or 5.1.7; I am not completely sure.
It is incredibly painful for us because we have many exam rooms and nurse's stations that still must use Windows XP SP3 because we simply cannot afford to upgrade our computers all at once. I am not exaggerating when I say that it takes minutes (not seconds) to paint that window. And this has caused an immense amount of stress for our doctors and for our nurses. We have already upgraded some of the machines, so these machines can now run Windows 7 and they do NOT experience the problem. We will continue to attempt to replace all of our old equipment, but we cannot afford to do more than a few per month, at the best. Given that the problem has been around as long as it has (at least since January, 2011), I, for one, would like to see it fixed, and I am more than willing to help.
