MapInfo Pro

Hi,

I have recently been experiencing a very long delay between choosing "Open Table" and the dialog window appearing. I get a blue wheel, with (not responding) in the header, and a freeze which last for 20-30 seconds. Note, this is not a delay in opening tables which, once the dialog appears and I choose my table to open, takes the expected amount of time. 

Testing other functions, the following also experience long delays in displaying their dialogs, some of which even open behind the MapInfo window when the wheel of death subsides:

"Open Workspace"
"Save Copy As"
"Run Program"

So basically anything which requires a file explorer window I think. 

Any thoughts?

UPDATE: I think it might have something to do with a recent server update which has changed the network mapping. Is there a way of modifying the initial directories for file dialogs in one go, or will we be forced to modify the paths one by one?

Hi Ryan

You will have to change them one at a time
