    Default AutoCAD 2007 is slow to Startup

    Has anyone had a problem with the start up time of ACAD 2007? When I click on my desktop icon, it takes a long time for it to load ACAD. I have a Dell Precision PWS690, Intel Xeon 3.20GHz w/ 2.00GB of Ram. It should load extremely fast, but it doesn't. I was wondering if the are some parameters that might not be set right. I have 6 cad stations and they all act the same. Any help would be appreciated!

    FWIW (not a lot) I disable acad's "startup accelerator". I don't see how making an internet connection is going to make my pc any faster.

    * Download FileMon and observe the file activity while ACAD is starting up. Maybe it's looking for a non-existent file or directory and is pausing until a 'time-out' is reached.
    * If you have items on a network, maybe your network connection is slow.
    * Disable communication center to eliminate that as a cause.

    Did your configuration of the network changed? It also happened to us, were currently moving from a 'Workgroup' network system to a 'Domain' system' (don't know why.)...and the guys in-charge with the networking can't explain the slow-down. I'll give Filemon a try tommorow and i'll check back later.

    How can I disabel communication center???
    I cannot seem to get it to quit throwing errors.

    I have also experienced slowness in AutoCad.
    I do not have any of my support files located on the office network.

    You can use the CAD Manager Control Utility. It is found on the CD. I don't remember where on the CD though.

    The first tab is dedicated for the Communication Center. There is a radio button to allow you to disable it.

    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    Did you follow the link I posted? If so, did that not work?

    I have a slow ADT 2007 start up and the link to "Disabling Communication Center" is blocked by my firewall.... But I did download and use filemon.... VERY useful little program.

    Can anyone discuss my filemon results? The slow part of the load are searches for ADT dbx files through ALL of my support directories. And it does each one multiple times. I also notice it looks for files that don't exist....like dll's for my custom CUI files. It seems the whole startup is riddled with inefficiencies.

    Thoughts? Anyone?

    Thanks

    at sometime did you move any cusomize files to a different drive/folder? Maybe some unused things are still looking in the old place while all the ones you do use were changed because you had to make Autocad Work.
