Topic: ( LDT 2004 ) Startup and Project Manager slow to open

[Mark]

I've got the start up time down to under 1 minute.

Everything loads normally until it gets to the LDD stuff. i.e.

Code: [Select]

Loading AecDraft...
Loading AecLS...
Loading AecCivilApp...
Initializing...
Loading AecCivilCogo...
Loading AecCivilDraft...
Loading AecTreeMgrAcad...
Loading AecSurfaceMgr...
Loading AecCivilDtm...

I'm going to suggest something radical.
DELETE the ARG file that Land is calling from your desktop icon.
Delete any reference to it in your REGISTRY (all requisite warnings implied)
Then restart Land

Thanks Michael, I'll give that a shot.

Delete any reference to it in your REGISTRY

There isn't a reference to 'lddt.arg' in the registry, there is however 'Land Desktop' under profiles.

... and removing that from the registry will leave you without LDT, you get Map instead.


Removing the 'lddt.arg' didn't make any difference.

attached is the 'Land Desktop' registry entry.

Mark,

Still looking at your reg file; nothing seems to be out of sorts.  I'll be looking at it some more to be sure.

Have you attempted a repair install?

If it were my choice I would have reinstalled it a long time ago! At the moment they won't let me install any acad stuff.

I don't see where anyone asked about any Virus Sacanner in use. So, is there? May need to exclude DWG, DWT, ARX files from it's automatic checking.

I thought about that too Jeff but Map and vanilla are not affected, only LDT.

thanks for all the comments folks.

Thanks Michael. But ....

Code: [Select]

C:\Program Files\Civil Series 2004>du -h sdsk.dfm
8.0K    sdsk.dfm

C:\Program Files\Civil Series 2004>grep "PNTFMT" sdsk.dfm


I was hoping that was it unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
