Slow Start Up

[mnyhoff]

We have recently upgraded to AutoCAD LT 2005. The problem is when we start the program it takes forever to get to the command prompt. It starts up fast, stops for some reason for an unusually long time at about 43% and then finishes loading. Any ideas what may be causing this problem?

IF YOUR ACAD2005LT SEEMS TO BE SLOW TRY THIS (http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4090357) via the Autodesk Discussion Groups "AutoCAD LT 2005"

Have a good one, Mike

Thanks for your reply Mike. I have tried all the solutions that I can find but none seem to work. I think the problem exists with our network. Unfortunately I am unable to make any changes to the network settings that may possibly resolve the problem. I will keep trying.

Yesterday i found the solution. I noticed that after installing Office, Autocad become very slow at starting up.
I tested 3 computer with Windows 7 32 and 64 bit and Windows 10 64bit.
When you Install Office you are installing a lot of new Fonts in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts.
My solution is: go to folder C:\Windows\Fonts and delete all the Fonts (some fonts cannot be deleted because system fonts).
I had 1000 Fonts and AutoCad started in 65 seconds.
Now i have 75 Fonts and Autocad starts in 15 seconds.
I noticed that in Windows 7 32 bit, deleting fonts, Autocad LT 2005 starts in 13 seconds.
After deleting fonts i have restarted Windows.
