problems with snow-leopard on an older macbook

[Bobsax]

I noticed that the Times function was set on 333 instead of 33. I'm not sure how that happened.
Maybe this relates to the slow start spinning gear?
Does this function work with a mouse/slider like the tempo function or do you have to just hold the arrows?

I thought it might have to do with the fact that I was using my own exercise songs but I just tried using the slider on one of the original songs from the program and the song started but the window disappeared.
I have to force quit and restart.

This seems to happen if you press the space bar to play the song with the slider still visible.
If I click anywhere to make the slider disappear then it starts okay.
