Hi all, I just got around to installing Houdini apprentice on my all in one, and its horrible! (at the mo) the machine should run it just fine, but it takes about 5 minutes (no joke) to lay down a fresh geometry sop.

any hardware/os gurus out there can give me a pointer to find out whats going on?

heres the spec.

Try upgrading the video driver. There was an issue with nVidia drivers that were shipping with Windows, or being installed by Windows Update that sounds very much like this. Latest drivers should fix this issue (and Windows Update won't downgrade the driver if the installed version is newer).
