Electrical 2010 vs. Windows 7

I am having an issue where our Company just went through and updated all of us from Windows XP 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit.

 

Now Acad-e 2010 is REALLY slow. Opens slower, reports are WAYYY slower. Tables of Contents that took only a couple minutes in XP are now taking 15-20 minutes or more. It seems to crash infrequently and for no consistent reason. Sometimes CTD's, sometimes freezes. This is really annoying. The setup is exactly the same as before. The installs are clean as we either received new PC's, or they were wiped and Win 7 installed fresh (no upgrade installs).

 

Anybody else notice this?
Any recommendations?
Help?

Sounds like a faulty installation. Try repair install. Be sure antivirus software is inactive during installation.

Hello Scott

We have no such reports specific slow behaviour on just switching OS. However there could be several reasons like faulty installation, even machine configuration play key factor. XP x32 is a completely different OS as compared to win 7 x64.

Secondly AutoCAD electrical 2010 is not officially supported on win 7 and that too with x64 OS as they were not available at the time of 2010 release for validation although we do not block installation for the Same.

Few ways to deal with is to do a repair as Doug mention but only faulty installation could not be only culprit for slowness alone.
