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.
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?
SIGN GUY...
Did you take a look at my screen video.. http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c2QV3ynPhO since it opens up quick and fast in illustrator, wouldn't my issue narrow it down to a Corel issue??
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.
Judy, I store data on two hard drives and a land, the only thing I put on the SSD are the programs I want to run faster than on a regular dard drive, I only have a 180 gig Intel SSD. A SSD makes a Big difference, If you look at the Time To Failure of any drives you'll see about a 8 to 10 year time frame.
