check writing screen blinks every few seconds, eventually settling after 10 minutes

PollySmith

I'm not able to enter check info until the screen stops blinking about every 3 seconds. Eventually it stops and I can enter the data and print the checks. The check register holds about 5000 entries. Ver: R22.12.

Can I save the data in a separate file and then download a fresh copy of the program to see if that fixes the problem?
