Fireworks CS6 trial is very slow on Windows 7

I'm not sure what's going on, but it's bound to be fixable. I've downloaded and installed the Fireworks CS6 trial and it's stalling after performing simple tasks. The only way I know to describe it is like this -- here are a few examples:

  • Try to create text, type the first letter and it hangs for about 30 seconds. Does the same after every letter I type.
  • Zoom in, it hangs for about 30 seconds and tries to catch up.
  • Move a layer in the layers panel, it hangs for about 30 seconds.

In some cases, such as entering text, when it hangs I can minimize the window and then come back and it's ready to go. Of course it hangs again as soon as I type the next letter.

Anyway, it's strange behavior and I'm not sure what to do. I'm on a ThinkPad W510 with Windows 7 Professional and 8 GB of ram.

Thanks,

Addison

    Thats odd - is the lag only with type objects? Specific Font Face or all of them? Does it occur with vector shape object creation/mainpulation?

     

    Is it possible that you have a corrupt font?

     

    I also use Win 7, though not the  same machine specs as yours but do not see the lag as you do.

     

    Hopefully, the engineers drop by the forums to better assist.
