Update,
The "Run as Admin" seemed to work for a bit, but it may have just been the resetting the program that could have sped thing up temporarily.

I updated to version 18 and the issue is still occurring. Whenever I select the "Link Properties" or Colour Selector" it looks like the Display Resolution is changing. This resolution change could definitely slow things down, but I don't know why Xara is charging the Resolution on me.

I am running x2 - Quadro P620's with x3 - 32" monitors. I have 2 other 27" monitors, but disabled them to see if there was any positive effect, but there was non. The System is: W-2225 CPU @ 4.10GHz w/ 64Gb RAM

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, this issue is driving me nuts...
