Hi Gary,

  yes, the CPU "eaten" by this version of Argo is greater than the old version, as the waterfall computations must be
done on
a much greater number of pixels.  And in NDB mode the whole process must be repeated many times per second...

Have you tried to set the speed to "Slow", when in NDB mode, this before pressing the Start button ?
I tested it also on an Atom mainboard, with Win 7 64 bits, not a particularly fast computer, on the contrary...
but it runs without problems even there.
