I've recently started using Solidworks on my laptop. I like the program, but IT'S SO SLOW!!! Everything seems to lag or jerk. I've tried lowering all the settings under the Options>Performance menu, but that doesn't seem to do much.
Are there any ways I can lower the settings more?
Inventor has always run just fine on my laptop, so I don't see why soldiworks should be such a strain...
I'm also running Vista (yeah I know vista sucks blah blah blah, but its what I have and I can't afford/too lazy to get another OS). I've heard Vista slows things down. Anyway I can improve that? What can I change?
Laptop stats:
-NVIDIA GeForce 8400M
-Intel Duo Core 1.83GHz
-4GB of memory
-HP Pavilion dv6000

Hold on, this an extremely high end laptop. Since you have an Nvidia card, try going to its settings and set it for performance instead of best picture. Also there is a Vista tweaker online that should help fix up Vista Issues. If that doesn't work, email me and I would love to help. I had to fix all my work computers to run vista.
BTW, I have an 8200 and it works perfectly.
