MikeP Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 2009 constantly freezes up on me for a few seconds almost ever minuet. Its so irritating. what can I do to stop this?? Quote
Cad64 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements? Are you current with all of the updates and service packs? Quote
MikeP Posted March 3, 2009 Author Posted March 3, 2009 well i did notice that http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/solid_filled_object_hotfix.htm in this how to. the file they wanted me to update was never there in the first place. so hopefully that will fix things Quote
Cad64 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 this is me. I believe im good Depends on your operating system and whether you're doing 3D or not. If you're just doing 2D work on a 32 bit system, you should be ok. Does this problem happen in every drawing or just certain ones? Have you tried Purging and Auditing your drawings, including all xrefs? Quote

Does this problem happen in every drawing or just certain ones? Have you tried Purging and Auditing your drawings, including all xrefs? well actually all my drawings is a lot of 3d. I design cabinetry in 3d. Quote
Cad64 Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Well, that could be your problem. Autodesk recommends a minimum 3.0 Ghz processor or a 2.0 Ghz dual core processor set up for 3D work. Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 What OS are you running? What are the specs on your graphics card? Have you purged Regapps? Is Display digital signature information turned off? Do you have an overloaded scale list? Are you using Truetype fonts? Have you tried lowering your hardware acceleration settings? Quote
Nigel E5 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Mike P Yes this one freezes for the first couple of hours of using it, drawing mainly in 2D, running XP. Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Nigel E5: Same questions that Cad64 and I asked are then directed to you as well. Quote
chelsea1307 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I have the same problem with 2009 my comp crashes alot while running it, sometimes with just it opened and sometimes with mulitiple things open. doesnt seem related to file size 99% of work is 2d and I only open 3d to help with plotting. Quote
ReMark Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Same questions apply to you to. Want to provide some answers? Quote
dumfatnhappy Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 only 2G of RAM...... don't think my machine would even boot up with that ;-) I was freezing/crashing with 4 gig so I went to 8 and problem(s) solved Quote
MikeP Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 i did all the updates from auto desk and it is running a lot smother. it even cleared up some plotting issues Quote
trubin Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Download and run CPUID or CPUZ. to find out your exact hardware. Quote
Nigel E5 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I did install the update gave me loads of other problems. So I deleted and did a clean install. been of for the last 3 months. Running a duo core 2.6 XP service pack 3 Card is radeon x1300/x1550 256MB No to scale list Yes to truetype Regapps.... what is it? acceleration settings medium. This happens first time I open a blank or template drawing. I did not get this on 2008 Might I hope 2010 is better!!! Quote
f700es Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Honestly I would look at the video card. A radeon x1300 is not really made for CAD. Quote
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Nigel: I suppose you also downloaded and installed the hotfix for file open, close and save problems having to do with AutoCAD 2009? I have a difficult time understanding how people have so many problems. I'm referring to your statement about updates. Updates usually fix more problems than they create. How old is this computer? Do you make it a habit to defrag, clean out junk files, occassionally give the interior of your computer a good dusting and cleaning, use Regclean, keep up to date with your antivirus program to avoid viruses, worms, bugs, etc.? Do you install and uninstall a lot of other software? Is the system overclocked? Quote
Nigel E5 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 "hotfix for file open, close and save ?" No updates at all I did try them but the machine crashed several times, my drawing are not that big, only 2d mainly. Hanging/ freezing only happens on first boot up for a hour or two I am sure R2010 will run with no problems at all and every thing in the garden will be rosy Quote
ReMark Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 If your system is having trouble running 2009 then you are not going to solve your problems when 2010 is released. Hanging and freezing on boot up is not an AutoCAD problem. It is probably a hardware problem or something to do with Windows itself. When was the last time you used a Registry cleaner like Regclean?
