I tried opening up a project in my CorelDraw x7 and it is loading very slow! I JUST bought a custom build computer with 16GB and fast processor, so it should not be doing this. I tried opening up the same project in illustrator and it loads just fine.
When I try and open in Corel, it loads every object and layer of object one at a time. When I try to move an object it loads everything on the screen one at a time again.
It would be very difficult to work on anything with this issue. Any ideas what is causing this? I'm thinking its a corel issue since it opens up fast in illustrator.
Hello Judy; If you just bought a Custom built computer for graphics, call them and tell them you want it set up for graphics, And tell them you Don't want any of the bull S products running on the computer at start up, stuff you want like antivirus, ect. are fine. A good CPU and mobo with 16 gig of ram should be really fast. As you can see I'm using a i5 2500K Intel on a ASRock mobo and it's the fastest thing I have made signs with. but they are old school now and newer better toys are out to build with. You can tell them that you talked to a NUT on the net that said it sounds like it's not set up right for graphics. And they can email me or call if they aren't sure how to set up a good graphics computer. Which Windows did you get??? I'm using 7 Utl.. If you want you can post a file you are having trouble with so we can take a look at it.

I really don't think its a computer thing. I specifically told them I needed it for graphics. Plus my same document opens up in illustrator just fine and fast.
My computer details are:
AMD A10-770K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G 2.40 GHz
16 GB Ram
64 bit operating System
Radeon R7 Graphics...
as mentioned above I really cant show the file because of confidentially agreement , but I will tell you its a tabloid 2 page collection with about 18 graphics on each page, no gradients or special effects, etc..
Like I earlier mentioned it loads 1 object at a time, every time I move something on the page it loads the graphics one at a time again on the page. At the current state I cannot work on anything efficiently.
Hello Judy; I see the 5.9 in the MS speed test and it's the same as Harry's, but your hold back is the Hard drive, Harry's is the video. 5.9 is a good score and a 7.9 is the best you can get. The hard drive is holding you back some compared to the rest of the computer. You could clean out the Temp dir. and look at how many fonts you have installed in Windows/Fonts. ( the less fonts there the faster Windows will run.) You do need some of the fonts for other programs, but you could put the fonts in a separate dir. and use Font Nav. to load the fonts that you want to use in Corel. You could add a SSD instead of the reg. hard drive, and being the computer is New it wouldn't be to much pain. You can slave the Windows to a new drive but I think it's best just to reinstall Windows and the other programs.

I have not used any macros, and I don't believe I have used color styles. Temp files are cleaned out and I have less than 400 fonts to use in Corel via font navigator.
When I was getting my computer built, I did ask the tech guy about the SSD drive, and he said with that it does run faster, but very slim chance of data recovery if there is a crash?
I dont think there is anything wrong with your specifications that would cause this problem. The symptoms are much too severe to cause that problem. SSD would not help redisplay of a small number of objects like this, because the objects would already be in memory.
It looks more likely that something is disabled or misconfigured. VM disabled, insufficient memory allocated to the graphics card, or hardware acceleration disabled.
I suppose the first thing would be to try to find somebody else that has a radeon 7 graphics card and see if they have the same problem.
I think Harry is on the right track. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your configuration. All other programs perform well, except CorelDRAW. Obviously CorelDRAW is the issue here. The thing now is to figure out where its messing up.
Guess you'll have to share the file ( either fully or partially) to take this any further.

okay attached is the Corel file example. Keep in mind this is not an isolated incident, this is happening with several of my files. I just got back from the place that custom built my computer and he double checked and said there is nothing wrong with the setup. He also said he thinks it might be a Corel issue.
Hmmm ... this is running slowly on my machine too.
I don't see a reason yet, but will look at it very closely.
I'm still not sure why, but try changing to View > Normal rather than enhanced.

I did notice that when I was trying to figure it out, but I don't want to settle for that, it makes the graphics look bad and pixelated. With a new fast machine I wouldn't think I would have to settle for that.
Judy I've watched your video several times, and I've downloaded your post and tried it, and I think the problem is in the video ( It looks like you do have a nice card ) but sometimes theyt are broke when you get them. How much ram is on the video card? And I would call the place that built the computer and tell them that maybe there is something wrong with the video, and ask if he has another card yall could try. My video card is a GForce 550 with 2 gig of DDR5 ram, and the mobo bios lets me use 2 gig of the DDR 3 ram from the system if needed, your card is nicer, but I don't think it is feeling good. And if he wouldn't charge you to much I'd ask about a SSD drive. ( At least 240 gig.)

Maybe it is that I have update 2 installed, but this runs just fine on my several year old machine. Specs below. It loads fast and I can group or ungroup or what ever. I can move objects, zoom in or out. It is fast.
Edit: I just updated my signature, I am running x7
