f700es Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I would uninstall completely. Do you have any 3rd party add ons installed as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 I would uninstall completely. Do you have any 3rd party add ons installed as well? Will do, f700es. Don't have anything else installed related to SU, but, for future reference should those be dumped, too? Will report back later with results. BTW, thanx!

f700es Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I was thinking one might be the problem Good luck Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Shucks! Sean, after reinstalling SketchUp (trial version--I haven't purchased it yet) I waited a timed five minutes before terminating the process in Windows Task Manager. Before that, I had clicked on the desktop shortcut and had to leave my computer for a short time (how long?????). When I returned shortly after, SU had opened and was asking for the choice of a template. After selecting a template, the program froze again, and, after several minutes waiting, I terminated. Thus, same old, same old. Sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Huh? Hardware issue then, maybe??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I run SU on a dual core athlon II x2 with an on board ati card. Way less than your setup and it runs smoothly. Something else going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Sid have you tried an older version of SU? Maybe v8 or 2013? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Have you tried opening Sketchup by double clicking on an existing .skp file rather than the desktop icon? I don't know if it will help you or not, but I have seen people with this same issue on other forums say it worked for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 So sorry for having taken forever getting back to this thread. Here's what I've done that solved my problems very nicely: 1) Upgraded Win8 to Win10. 2) Added an inexpensive Quadro K420 card. 3) Added a Samsung 27" monitor. Things are going swimmingly now! I greatly appreciate all the great suggestions you guys have made. All very good food for thought. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I know its a old post, My money would have been on Intel HD4000 its not supported by 2015+ Autocad. Sketchup maybe same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
