Ohh! Question!:
Does this application have any System requirements?
The reason I ask is because whilst trying to "create a model" via the course track view panel, not only does it take incredibly long, but it also never finishes.
Up until a certain point, you can see the loading bar slowly make it's way forth, but about half way, it starts to get a little glitchy, and the shimmer animation (Vista and 7) statrts to stammer. i can fix this by holding down on the window header, and so long as i keep my finger down, it'll keep up the speed. (I guess the window assumes priority when I do this??) However, I just use a little duct tape.
then , at about 90 or so percent, it'll stop moving all together. The animation will continue (if yer finger is down, otherwise, it's locked up good, and trying to click at this point will bring about a Not Responding dilema), but no prograss will be made, for hours, even.
You may think that my file's just too big, and so did I, so I tried something much simpler, and much smaller. (My original attempt was a rounded edge, white-to-grey grandient part of a course. The part itself was about 50 x 50, but the entire PNG came out at about 250 x 250.) The new model I tried to make was a 50 x 50 PNG file that consisted of no more than a white square. Although it took much less time to load, it would still lock up at 90%
So why do I ask if it's a System issue? According to the gadget on my desktop, 100% of my CPU speed is being used (and that's when SZS is the only thing running!(More specifically, making new models))
Despite my efforts, I can't seem to make this work...
Any tips?
I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate, 1.8GHz AMD Athlon single core proccessor, 2GB DDR2 RAM (comes in at about 26% when SZS is creating new model)
My PNGs are typically made with a trial edition of Photoshop CS5, but in an attempt to make things work, I also tested PNGs from Paint...no go.
Thanks in advance
