version 15 and windows xp

[donnm]

We have recently upgraded to Solid Edge version 15 and have
4 machines running v15 and windows 2000 and 1 with v15 and Windows XP
On the machine with windows xp we have the problem that
in Part environment to finish e.g. a protrusion takes ages
to execute, since loading windows xp
Has anyone else had this problem with XP?

I have a few questions:

1. Which service pack are you using for Solid Edge?

2. Have you installed service pack 2 for windows xp?
- it is advisable to stay away from service pack 2 as it has a very long list of software it renders useless (so much for 2 + years of development hey microsoft)

3. Are the graphics cards different in each machine?

One thing you can try in the meantime: from the part environment go to tools --> option --> View tab and change your "Application Display" to something different. Software driven has given us good results.

I'm not seeing any problems with XP SP2 on ver 15 SP6 yet. Is anyone seeing any problem?

Check with your local computer guru. Generally there are issues with network settings (and upgrades)and XP.

As a test, try saving and recalling from your local drive instead of the network. I suspect that there won't be an issue there.

XP needs substantially more resources to run than W2K.
So more questions...

What is the CPU & speed?

How much RAM is installed & what type?

What is the VM set to?

Have you turned off all the "fancy" crap in XP? (pointer shadows, animated menus, etc)
