FMP 7 v3 Dev Very slow in layout mode

[Barry Ezell]

Anyone experience slow movement of objects on their win pc in layout mode? Is this a known issue for win developers?

My version is 7.0v3 Developer running on a Pentium 3 Dell Inspiron 8100. Large hard drive, 512 memory. Observations:

1. While in the layout mode, there is a delay in the mouse pointer when a few objects are selected to be moved.

2. The program is responding to design changes very very slowly.

3. Problem does not exist in FMP 6, FMP5.5, FMP 5.

I have tried increasing the cache size. I launched the windows Task Manager so I could observe CPU activity. I noted that the CPU useage ski-rockets to 100% on moving objects around in the layout mode.

Has anyone experienced this? Is this a bug in the windows version?

Try reducing the performance on the graphics card. This can sometimes help

Adjust for best performance of system cache. Use 24 bit, not 32 bit for your graphics card. Yes, I have experienced the problem. And thanks for your service to our country!
