So I've been having a lot of slow down issues lately. Mainly its with bigger files which is expected but I updated an old file I worked on about a year ago and I had huge issues with slow processing which I didn't have before with the same file. It was a grueling 4 hour excursion to just to adjust a few colors and change a few of the texts and effects.
Some things to note:
We've basically doubled our work load and this is our busiest time of year on top of that so this slow down is extremely intrusive; especially since half of the jobs are these big files with multiple versions of the design. So many pages of huge files with effects and what not. I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling Corel and see if that has a big effect on processing. I'll probably try to experiment with different versions too to try to figure out what's happening. My boss said he'd just buy a new machine with better specs so its not a problem, but if its the program that's not gonna help. Its been hard finding the time to test or diagnose anything right now that right now so I thought Id ask the community for some thoughts/ advice on the situation.
First this system would not be on my list to run Draw on.
Assuming you have permissions set for this. Shut down all applications, shut down Windows, un plug the computer, after a few minutes plug the computer in and do all Windows updates. Shut down again, un plug the power then reboot. You can delete all temp files.
I have a POS Toshiba that requires this one or twice a year.
