RickS - Lab 8 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 we have been using 2011 for several months now and have found opening the program and other commands are extremely slow. For example when first opening the program it take 3-5 minutes to start up. We have been using user folders & shared library's over the LAN on a shared network computer. Once we deleted the links & pointers from the VW Preferences User Folders, the program sped up immensely. We have used the same setup with 2010 without any real issues???? Not sure if we have a server issue or if 2011 is more dependent on the User files and therefore slower since it is accessing them across the LAN or not???? Any Suggestions???? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Needless to say, LAN access always incurs overhead. Especially if there are contingent factors... Are all those " user folders & shared libraries over the LAN" compatible with v2011 or is there some sort of translation involved in the process ? Quote Link to comment
atari2600 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The thing that I have noticed which can bog start up is the size of resource files listed as "favorites". If a user at one of our offices mistakenly tries to open up their preferences from a computer in our 2nd office (in another state), they can wait forever until the favorite files load in properly. Once they are removed, there doesn't seem to be as much of a problem. hope this helps. matt Quote Link to comment
Dieter @ DWorks Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I have had several setups for shared library files over a lan network and I have seen that when using a normal computer in the lan to save the libraries, all went slow. When using a real server machine, all is fast. Quote Link to comment
Rossford Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 We had that problem years ago when we had a network and it was just too small and slow a server for multiple machines. I think we started drawings on the desktop, and then transferred them to the main server for storage each night. Quote Link to comment
