Proe running slow

I'm running WF 3.0, version M070 on a new computer with Vista. It's an HPxw8400, whatever that is. 2.33 GHz processor, 3071 MB of RAM, 32 bit operatin system, although it can be set up to run 64 bit.

Sometimes, often, it runs really slow. I can just change windows or move the arrow up the tree a couple of features, no major change to the model and it will take 20-30 seconds to repaint the screen. When I look at Taskmanager during this period it's using 50 percent of CPU, then it drops back to zero. I've closed most of the background operations that I'm not using, like Quicktime and Messenger but it makes no difference.

It must be a combo of the operating system and ProE because we have another guy here using the same setup but he's running Alias and it steams along with no delays. Anyone have an idea?

Check your video card and drivers. Make sure you have the newest drivers.

You need to have a video card with decent Open GL support.

I ran into stability issues with the ATI Mobility Fire GL T2 card in my HP nw8000.

If I used the "pro/e" setting in the video driver settings, it crashed constantly and bogged down. Switching to a "Default" or "OpenGL Gaming" improved performance by multiple orders of magnitude.

The "Pro/e" setting was made for Wildfire 1.0. Something serious was changed during the development of the newer releases.

We've done all that with the exception of the video drive setting. Will give that a shot. Thanks.
