Revit 2011 opening files or creating new files issue

[genaro]

Revit hungs for 30min to 1 hr when I try to open an existing file, create a new project, a new family or a new conceptual mass.

However, this happens only the first time after I start Revit.

Is this happening to anybody else?  Any suggestions?

Thanks

I wanted to pass along 2 possible conflicts below in regards to the Communication Center and the RPC Content Client.  Please let me know if these are helpful in resolving the issue:

Revit 2011 products hang when creating or opening a project - http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS15040187

The second is listed for AutoCAD, but the same process can cause Revit 2011 to hang as well:

InfoCenter process prevents AutoCAD 2011 from starting - http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS15228698

Thanks for your reply.

1.  the ACM is already set at the suggested address and port.

2.  I have ended the process for WSCommCntr2.exe but it reappears everytime I start Revit 2011.   

Revit still hangs

One additional item may be a file on the recent files list which could no longer be available or on a location currently not accessible. 

We can test clearing out the list as explained in step # 3 below.  This is for Revit 2010, but the process is the same for 2011 at the new location “C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit Architecture 2011\Program”.

If the issue still persists, I would verify if there are any custom places under Options > File Locations > Places.  If you added any here, test removing them to see if the issue persists.

Lastly, if the issue still continues try launching Revit by highlighting the Revit shortcut, right-clicking > Run As Administrator.

Journal file:

1. License Connection:  the 2 time stamps are close together.

2.  Protein Material:  this is different from 2010.  My 2011 Data folder does not contain a Rendering subfolder.

3.Revit.ini recent files: I followed what it said.  I still get the delay.

I still get the delay which is noticeable in the log file.

Are the template files located on the workstation or a network location?  If network, if you temporarily copy and change the path to the local workstation does the issue persist?
