Might all this keep failing then I will give 431 a new try.
I found that 5.20 was less power-hogging than 4.3.1 Had tried the earlier 5.x series, but they weren't inspiring enough to make me upgrade from my working 4.3.1.
5.20 made me jump right on board (and it worked so well, that I was hesitant to upgrade to 5.28 -- but I broke my 5.20 save file, and figured I give it a try).
Only recently upgraded from 5.20 to 5.28 (since I have frugal installs, I still have 5.20 laying around on several machines).
Put 5.25 on a really old laptop, which seems to work well (light memory load, which is good for that old critter). It had 4.3.1 Retro previously, but that was hardware intensive also. 4.12 worked pretty well on it.
But you shouldn't have to go back that far...
Don't recall if you mentioned it, but what's your hardware? Relatively new, isn't it? (i.e. > 1 GHz processor, etc).
