Strange issue with freezing client

I'm running Windows 7 Pro, running the server (With help from Xuri).
Over the course of the day that I've been playing with UOX I've noticed something weird, when the window looses focus for a few seconds, ten or so, it freezes until I run a worldsave on the server!

I kid you not, the program unfreezes when I hit @ to run a manual worldsave.

The server is on the same box as the client, using its data files.

I'm running UO:SA 7.0.7.1

Anyone else notice this issue? O.o
(This has been happening from the get go, Xuri, so I know it's not your binary)

It's possible that this issue is caused by a Razor incompatibility with Windows 7 (assuming you're actually using Razor to launch the client, if not, then this does not apply). You should be able to fix it by running Razor in Windows XP-compability mode: right-click on Razor.exe -> Properties -> Compability -> Run program in compability mode for: Windows XP (Service Pack 3).

That seems to have done the trick, no lockups so far :)

Again, thank you Xuri
