I just installed Design review on several workstations with ACAD 2007 and Inventor 11 installed. When I start Design review it takes about 3 minutes to startup. Is this normal?
I have AutoCAD 2007, Autodesk Inventor R11 DWF Extension, and Autodesk Design Review 2007. My Autodesk Design Review takes about 8 seconds to come up when invoked from the start menu. I have a basic laptop: 2.16 MHz CPU, 1GB RAM.
When I don't have anything else already running, Autodesk Design Review comes up in about 2 seconds. So 3 minutes is not normal. Do you have any usual network settings where it might have trouble trying to check for updates or something like that?
After using it for several days the problem of starting up dissapeared.. it's working fine now. I guess it must have been a networking issue of some kind..
thanx for the help anyway!

Our design review is very slow startup and the machine i tryin to run it from doesn't have internet access. We had the same problem back on one of the earlier Design Reviews. I remember a registry setting to change to make it stop looking for updates. Anyone know where that is for 2010 so i can stop this persistent bug in the Design Review software?
Logic would say that this procedure should work for the 2010 version, but I have not tried it yet.
