N7OR,
I am not quite sure what the problem is..but I can assure you that Clearview will run great on a 1.2 gig machine...I currently have it running on 3 different machines

CPU 1- Athlon 1.2 ghz, 1 gig of ddr2100 memory, Geforce4 5700 256 meg video, 40 gig Hard disk

CPU 2- Athlon 3.0 ghz, 1 gig DDR 3200 memory, Geforce4 5700 256 meg Video, 80 gig Hard disk

CPU 3- Athlon 64 3.2 Ghz, 1Gig DDR 3200 memory, Geforce4 6800 GT video, 120 Gig Sata Hard isk

On all my machines Java.exe is taking up approx 25,000-30,000k...not a whole lot....I think you may some issues with your machine if Java.exe is taking up that much of your computer. We need to figure this out. Just a few question:
1. How much Ram does your machine have?
2. What operating system are you using?
3. Programs running in background?
4. Is your USB device configured properly in the windows control panel? This is VERY important!!

I will enclose a screenshot of my system resources on this particular machine....Hopefully we can work this out for you.
I am not Tech support for Clearview, but I do create and convert models and make them available for other users. I am a computer tech, and I'm willing to help you find out what is going on....Talk to ya later
