Is there a way to see which process is running when loading AutoCAD?

We have about 25 workstations on our partner company, with the exact hardware and software configuration. We have 2 workstations with problem, but the other 23 are fine.

The problem is those 2 is taking to long when loading.

 

I tried to load the program without loading template (startup to 0) it loads fine. The problem starts after it loads template or existing file. I can tell it's not the file problem, because after we open a file successfully, any other file after that opens normally. So there must be another process after loading the first file.

 

I suspected there is an addon program that cause this. Is there a way we can see what processes are running on command line (like in Windows command console), so we can find what cause this?

 

I think this might also because they are using ACAD MAP3D 2010, which are not certified for Windows 7 64bit on their machine.

You can try "Process Explorer", it's free. There are a lot of good utility programs in the complete System Suite, which includes "Process Explorer".

just have Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) open first on the Processes tab, sorted by CPU high to low and see which processes pop up under System Idle Process (which is always first in line unless you're tracking a NASA satelite or something at the same time).

You can do it again with taskman on the applications tab too, just to see.

 

Mine does in the following order; Windows Explorer > CoreServiceShell > Acadlt.exe. When I open a drawing Acadlt.exe pops to first in line with Coreserviceshell in second place but it takes only 1 to 2 seconds for drawings to open, but then, I have my virus program set to ignore AutoCad, probably unlike some of your coworkers.
