I've been generally having trouble with Civil 3D 2012 taking a long time to do tasks. One that takes quite a while is if I drag a Cogo Point Label. As stated it takes about 75 seconds. It will move to where I drag it immediately but then the program is unresponsive for a minute and 15 seconds.
In the past 4 days I've repaired C3D, tried 4 or 5 different versions of the display driver and did a windows update. A lot of commands, specifically Civil 3D commands, are very slow. Does this ring any bells?

I didn't have Properties open but did have QP on. I also had Layer Manger, Toolspace and Tool Palettes open. I decided to close all of them. Somewhere between closing the Toolspace (2nd to last to be closed) and the Tool Palette (last to be closed) I got a Fatal Error. I let it save a recover file and when I ran RECOVER on the file. I got a drawing that doesn't have that problem. I'll have to see if any others show up.
In the recovered drawing I have everything I mentioned above open, plus I opened the Properties box, and I still don't have a problem dragging point labels. So I think in this case it was the Recover that solved the problem. I had run Audit on the drawing yesterday, so I hadn't thought to do that.

I responded too soon. It started having the same problem again after about 5 minutes. I tried to close thing again and it Fatal Errored when I closed Toolspace.
It looks like it's time to reinstall Civil 3D.

Thanks John. But I think it goes deeper than that.

I think that's a good possibility. I only have 4GB of RAM. But there's nothing I can do about that now.

Not going to happen soon. No money. 150 layoffs (out of 2300) scheduled for next month. Maybe I wont have to worry about this for much longer

This should be a very good machine. Not brand new but near top of the line when bought. Lacking in RAM though. I would love to by some more but with our financial situation it isn't going to happen.
I had a similar problem a couple of months ago and what IT did was to wipe my machine and restore a Ghost image made when they installed Windows 7 the first time. But that was only 6 weeks ago. I can't have the computer rebuilt every six weeks.

Yes. That seems to be the opinion most people have, and I agree that I need more RAM. But that's not going to happen unless I pay for it myself. I might consider that but I'd rather wait until I see if I have a job next month.

Thank you. In some ways I shouldn't have to worry, but I've seen private firms strip most of their senior staff and leave just some junior techs. Governments can be even weirder.

An update. This doesn't seem to be anything that 2 clean installs and another 8GB of RAM wouldn't cure. After the second clean inhalation I could drag the labels without much trouble. Now that I bit the bullet and got enough RAM to bring me up to 12GB thing are working much better.
