thank you guys for the info, i've redone config and all seems to be working well.

I downloaded the newest version of AM, i was having trouble with it auto saving every 15 min or so, i used the config tool and disabled auto save, and since there is no 0 number of saves, i used the lowest number (1), even though it should have not mattered since i disabled, (i think) but it kept on auto saving still and was taking forever to autosave to boot.

can anyone tell me what i might be doing wrong?

thanks in advance for any help.
