I started having problems with my info box for several months now, and I couldn't figure out the cause of the lag. Back then, my computer ran windows 10 (upgraded from 8.1 with the suggested upgrade from microsoft).
I read on forums that others had this problem too, but none of their suggested fixes worked in my case.
Basically, when I select a tool, the info box takes like 1 second to fully load and it does that by loading each row of information at a time. It's not an instant load, as it's supposed to. While this happend, the Archicad is in a state of not working, so it affects my productivity a lot.
I'm working in an office, we have over 10 pc's (different specs for each one), all running Archicad 19. Only 2 of these have this problem. Mine and a co-workers. So I tried what anyone would do: I cleaned my pc with ccleaner, defragmented the disk, tried a couple of fixes from other forums, reinstalled archicad. Nothing worked.
So I contacted our tech guy and asked him to do some more cleaning and to look for bugs. We ended up deciding it was best to try and install windows from 0.
My computer has a windows 8 licence, intel core i5-3450 CPU, 3,10 GHz, 3,50 GHz, 16 GB RAM, x64-based processor, AMD Radeon R7 360 Series.
After reinstalling w8, everything was ok, back to normal.
After attempting to install DWG Trueview, I found out it isn't supported on windows 8. Since I need this program, I upgraded the windows 8 to 8.1, basically because every morning it appeared on my screen: upgrade now to windows 8.1, and everybody on every forum I ever visited said: do not stay on windows 8, upgrade it to 8.1.
Now, the problem is back.
What can I do to fix this?
Is it an incompatibility with some drivers?
When I did the update to 8.1, the display adapter switched to some windows default and I had to reinstall the amd radeon driver by myself. I feel as if this is not the only issue that could have appeared after the update.
Any suggestions?
