Topic: Painfully Slow Regens C3D2009

[mjfarrell]

Well...I've had a gut full of my motherboard...keeps freezing, ram doesn't show that it's actually there.

A P5B Asus (?)..anyone ever heard of it? I've had it back in for 2 weeks of testing.....and I got zip response. 2 gig ram.....I am not happy. I have $3000 left over from my mexican trip, so should I just get a new computer or upgrade the motherboard on this one?

Start with flashing the BIOS.....
and reinstall the motherboard resource drivers...








now go put some clothes on

Check your fixed profile at C:\Documents and Settings\<YourName>\Application Data\Autodesk\C3D 2009\enu\Support\Profiles I had a problem on an earlier version of the program that would cause this file to be corrupted and grow causing the program to slow down. The size should be around 92 kb.

Am I just expecting too much? Even relatively simple drawings are taking forever to regen. 
Does anyone have any suggestions to improve this?

Thanks

Yes, the profile maybe it also. For a test if you still have the original profile maybe you can make that current. One thing I found was I tried using an old profile from C3D 2008 to C3D 2009 and boy what a mess. I learned to start building the profile from scratch. If you can test it build a new one, and see what happens. My profiles that were bad did the same thing you are showing. Otherwise, all of the above comments.

CHulse,

How is the uninstall - install going?

Well that did it. Now it's just slow when you expect it to be

I'm still trying to figure out, did he put some clothes on, or has he been flashing his BIOS all day?

Just because I was in Mexico doesn't mean I...never mind.

What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico.

Mike...Zars said in order to flash the BIOS I will need to download some tools. Any idea what he was talking about? I will reinstall all the stuff of the motherboard CD when I get home.

[mjfarrell]

you will need in some instances
a)boot floppy
b)bootable CDROM
c)bootable thumdrive

The FlashBIOS.exe or similar file from the BIOS manufacturer, best to reboot, and make note of the BIOS name, type, and rev number.

There will be a read me file with the flash executable.....

Alan,
How old is it? It might just be time to trade it in for a new one... might be easiest...

...and we're glad you made it back from Mexico
