IV7 Load Speed

How long should it take for IV7 to startup? I am talking about from double click to splash screen. I am using P4 2.4, 1024 RAM, 80GB 7200RPM IDE, Quadro 750 XGL.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any virus software "auto protect" on? this could impact startup speed. We have the McAfee and that can almost double startup time, especially the first startup after a reboot. - ed -

We have Norton. I just turned off the "Accessed or Modified" and changed it to "Modified" I'll see what that does. We are seeing 1 to 2 minute times.

Got a correction of sorts to my previous
post.

The 24 second time is after I have already booted
up IV 7, closed it, and reopened it.

When I start IV7 from a fresh computer start
up, it takes around 2-1/2 minutes to open up.

25 secs to splash screen and 35 secs total until open.
open iv second time. 7 secs to splash screen and 10 secs to open.
this is working local. a network might slow things down.

this is with norton autoprotect running.
one thing with norton. emty recycle bin and purge norton protected files
running norton system works and repairing the registy also tends to speed things up. if you dont have system works you should format your hard drive at least once per year and clean install everything.

If you are running ZIP Folders (zipfldr.dll) in XP, this can add
significantly to the time it takes Inventor to do anything.

Where can you turn this feature (Zip Folders) off?

Start / Run
and type in:
regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\zipfldr.dll
You will need to adjust the directory names to match yours

I can't help with the load speed, but
Norton Anti-Virus can slow things down a lot. I've changed the options in NAV to
exclude Inventor files (.iam, .ide, .idv, .idw, ipn & .ipt) as well as the
.\Program Files\Autodesk\. directory and the workgroup directories, whilst
leaving NAV Auto-Protect enabled.

 

It speeds things up no end, but some
would no doubt question my sanity after seeing the effects of
MsBlaster.

 

Hope this is of help.

yours

Having the latest 3DConnexion drivers loaded with your spaceball unplugged causes a major slowdown on startup as well as the other
reasons.

NAV is a good place to start but have you thought about the
following.......

 

Check Task Manager to see if you have any CPU intensive apps
running and slowing things down

 

Defrag your HD (Diskeeper does it overnight automatically for
you)

 

Keep PCI slot next to AGP card free

 

Update your graphic card driver, and apply the reg updates
from the IV graphic card website

 

Put the pagefile on a different partition than the OS and
Inventor install files (preferably a different disk)

 

Set the pagefile min and max to 4000MB, don't split it up over
many partitions unless using Disk Striping (RAID 0)

 

Set the Undo file to 1000MB (make sure that you have enough
free disk space for it. set location in IV pull down Tools\App
Ops\File\Undo )

 

Check your PC for IRQ conflicts, Update drivers\firmware for
EVERY device on your machine (e.g Hard Disk, network card, mouse, soundcard etc
etc)

 

 

One or all of these should improve it

It takes 2-3 seconds for mine to load up
I am using a system with the same processor, ram and video card as well
I also turn off auto protect while starting up and loading large assemblies
into inventor
