Renee,
Don't give up. It could be your virus protector that could be causing some of your problems. I have been having problems even signing in for months, and then when it did, and I went to download the freebie for the month, it would bounce right back to the sign in page.  I have been reading similar problems in many of the other message boards,and today,   I finally figured out what the problem has been.
First of all most of my problems began when I started using Norton. It is unlike any other protection program that I have ever used in the past. I was like you trying every suggestion and still nothing would work. BUT finallyI clicked on the one thing that I had never tried in the past attempts.
Right click on <Norton's icon> in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Left click on <Disable Norton Internet Security>
Now try signing in again, and clicking on any of the other options on Patternsonline.com. It has been like a miracle with that simple adjustment.
Norton has far more protections than any other anti-virus program I have ever tried. As long as you have your E-mail protected that is one of the most important protections you want to keep enabled. The above procedure simply unties all of the restrictions for you while you are on the Internet and attempting to download things, especially patterns.
Renee, I do hope you will try this if you are using Norton.  |

Renee,
I'm confused. I know that your internet security can affect many other things but the connection between Norton and PatternsOnline.com is totally separate from PCStitch Pro.
I had to remove McAfee because it's overhead was killing me and it blocked access to the internet almost entirely but that did not cause resource problems in non-internet based software.
So long as you are not trying to access the internet (update for example), Norton Internet Security should have nothing to do with PCStitch Pro. Just as Patternsonline.com has noting directly to do with Pro. It just provides files that pro can read.

There is no such thing as a stupid question |

Hey Diane,
It wasn't me that posted about Norton... :>
But I do know that norton can-has-will cause probs on certain web pages even though it may not have anything to do with them. I use Norton and have tried others but always go back to NIS because it does work.. anyhoo, this is now 2008 and I still have the same resource hogging problems from PCSPro and have since bought Hobbyware's program --- expensive --- but really awesome with no hogging of my resources...
huggs to everyone and hope everyone is doing well....
