We will need to put a note in the release notes telling windows users
who are upgrading to reset the preferences involved.

The latency setting used before should be fine, though, unless you are
taking advantage of the new features, such as zoom and multiple systems,
which do allow you to place more stress on the cpu. Can you say if this
is the case? The actual draw routines have been speeded up.

It seems very sporadic - can you confirm that they appeared after
logging out/in?

For all the other problems (if you want to keep your .denemo for other
personal settings and so don't want to delete .denemo wholesale) go to
prefs and delete the externals such as lilypond path, pdf viewer, midi
player etc - they should all work if blank on windows.
