Allegro Free Physical Viewer v16.6 takes minutes to load on new PC

JKok

I just installed Allegro Free Physical Viewer v16.6 S002 on a new Desktop (Win7 Pro, x64, 8G ram). It takes minutes to load a brd file. Same file loads in ~10 sec on my 5yr old laptop, with only 6G ram, and while the laptop has other programs open, and the desktop has nothing else running.

I've tried uninstalling, cleaning the registry, reboot, and reinstall, but that doesn't help. Repeated that several times, with different number of registry cleaning before and after reboot. Also compared registry environment variables, and don't see anything that is different.

I've experienced before where a PC was "too fast" for a simulation software, and it would not find the license. Could this be similar? How then to slow down the PC to try? CPU is an i5-4590S, 3GHz, 3.3GHz turbo.

Appreciate any feedback and advice.

Thanks.
