Windows Explorer & I-Deas

Windows Explorer & I-Deas

Windows Explorer & I-Deas

(OP)
Hi. On a few Dell Workstations I have a problem since I installed Win2K Sp4.
Whenever I-Deas opens an explorer dialog to save/export or import a file I-deas would totaly hang for 3-7 minutes. Uninstalling Sp4 helps reduce the freeze up it's still around 1 minute.

On older machines Sp4 seems to have not much of an effect.

Dell Presicions 650
Xeon 2.8Ghz Hyperthreading (active or not doesn't seem to matter with the problem)
2 Gigs DDR Ram
Nvidia Quadro4 700

Anyone got any i-deas? ;)

thanks in advance

RE: Windows Explorer & I-Deas

Hi,
I use I-DEAS 9 on "no-named" PC (Athlon XP 1800+, 512MB RAM, Win2K SP4) and I haven't this problem.

Hi again. I noticed it was related to my memory. When I-Deas used the default amount of memory it would show this behaviour. I have since edited the preference file and now use the max. (1024)... no more problems
