Wits End Now

Hi Guys,
Bit melodrammatic but this seems like a final association with Flowcode and ALL my projects now, unless I can somehow get ONE issue resolved which suddenly appeared early in 2016! I spent most of last year 'struggling on' but as my projects have got more complicated, needing increasing tweaks, therefore compiling programming and re-runs etc., it is now totally impractical to continue any more due to the extraordinairily long time it has been taking to compile and send to chip even when everything is perfectly in order - never mind if it stalls somewhere on the way, as one can imagine!! The nub of the problem is that at any point where a few dotted lines appear for what always used to be one or two seconds, they take between 5 and 8 MINUTES! Therefore, just to even Compile (which has 2 such positions), it takes between 10 and 16 minutes (plus a bit more for the bits between). I just haven't got that sort of time available. I have tried everything I can think of since the problem started and I have raised this on the forum a number of times and had helpful ideas and possibilities but nothing has solved it.
SO I took the 'bull by the horns' last week and ditched my hard drive and operating system after checking EVERY aspect of my pretty powerful Asus lap top regarding hardware, memory, Motherboard and dual core Intel chip set and as everything was 100%, I have fitted a new SSD Sandisk drive, and purchased Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit ( arguably the most stableMS Windows platform ). All now installed and everything running smoothly and hardly anything on the machine. This was to eliminate ALL POSSIBILITY of any problems and to be EXTRA CAUTIOUS, I Downloaded the simple example programme from Matrix that you see in the attachments and guess what?? IT TOOK AROUND 7 MINUTES !!!! Totally gutted - I tried one of my simple charts off disc AND off my external drive with the same results !
I have done all the usual things in the past like checking the set ups, un-installing and re-installing v4, PPP etc. etc. etc. - you name it I have done it - apart from SOMETHING but I dont understand how I could now have EXACTLY the same problem even with a TOTALLY new system AND trying the Flowcode example before ANY other FLOWCODE programme HAD BEEN TRIED!!!
HELP!
Best regards,
Chris
