Hello,

I'm running houdini 9.1.179 apprentice win32 on my dell m6300 laptop and it is very slow, it takes seconds to create a point sop for instance.
The whole software is very sluggish and I was wondering what I got wrong :cry:

I've got a fairly powerful system (dual core 2.4ghz, 4gb ram) and I'm running windows xp 32bit sp2 with all updates and no bloatware whatsoever.
I'm running a nvidia quadro fx1600 512mb with dell's forceware 156.19.

Help
Thanks

You could try running Houdini 9.1.232 from the daily builds section. The version you are using is very old

How can I reach the daily builds section?
Thx

Thanks,

the latest build in conjunction with the latest nvidia drivers works fine.

Once you're logged in, go to downloads and find one of the links for daily builds that lets you query changes since build number such-and-such.

Change the query to show 9.1 build fixes between 217 and 219, click Apply, and you'll see a 2008/04/17 fix that looks like it's the one that sped help things up for me.

Everyone else's mileage may vary, but with build 244 I don't have to tweak anything and help response on Vista is blazing fast.
