LDD 4.3 is not responding

Recommended Posts

So I have recently installed LDD 4.3 on my Windows 7 computer. When I open LDD, it'll say "LDD 4.3 is not responding". Here's my PC's specs:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

Processor: Intel Pentium T4500 @ 2.30GHz

RAM: 2GB

Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0N7J7M (Microprocessor)

Graphics: Generic PnP Monitor (1366x768@60Hz), Intel Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Dell), Intel Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Dell)

Can someone help me?

So its a laptop? I dont know a lot about the integrated graphics cards, but I do know they can be troubleseome... Did you check you graphics driver? Maybe try updating it?

Maybe the problem is due to the models that LDD loads at startup.

Try to open LDD double clicking on a small or an empty lxf file and tell us if this workaround solve the problem.

I'd say the RAM is a big bottleneck here. According to Windows Task Manager, LDD uses around 388MB on startup, though this drops to 350MB soon after (I use the "ShowStartHelp=no" option in preferences.ini). Working on a model only makes that rise, Though. I've seen it eat up nearly 800MB at times.

8GB RAM is pretty inexpensive these days, and you'd be amazed how much faster your pooter will be with more space to run about.

It is not much expensive if you buy the last generation of RAM, but supposedly his/her notebook supports DDR2 ram, that is much more expensive.

Anyway he/she should not have this kind of problems with 2 GB of RAM, but it could be better to test it opening LDD when other software (especially the browser) is closed.

Zblj: Graphics drivers are up to date and it still does not respond, even when I close everything else.

Calabar: I've opened LDD by opening a 9KB lxf file with everything else closed and it still does not work.
