Every time when I start the program the main page displays, but when I try to open a new file or project the program freezes. Is saying (not responding). I tried reinstalling RAC2011 a couple of times, even reinstalled Windows 7 (32bit) but same, not responding. From 20 times I tried to open something only worked once. I saw a thread about hanging because Archvision Content Manager but is not my case. Anybody is having same issue? Please advice...

HI I am having the same issue - I was running Revit 2010 and trying to run 2011 (64bit) on a Dell M6400 notebook quad core system with Windows 7 64 Ultimate, 8G RAM. The time to start a Revit session from scratch is currently 4 minutes?? on a system that has been starting Revit 2010 in under 15 seconds. Video card is a Quadro FX 3700M. I don't think that hardware capability is the issue. The initial install worked fine last week but on Friday, the start-up times across the system starting slowing. The existing Revit 2010 version also completely stopped and would not start. Revit 2010 had been running well for the last year. The AutoCAD 2010 also slowed taking nearly two minutes to start-up. So far, I have removed the entire 2010 and 2011 Revit suites along with the 2011 Max Design and reinstalled only Revit 2011, removed the virus software, cleanly uninstalled Revit 2011 following Autodesk's sequences, reinstalled the video drivers and still no joy. Seems to hang on the "recent files screen" and I do remember there was an issue with this screen and its compatibly with IE 8? with Revit 2010 64bit. Any ideas apart from completely rebuilding my system from scratch. All the other software loaded on the system is working fine. Has completely stopped some of my current projects.

"The time to start a Revit session from scratch is currently 4 minutes?? " - I don't have Windows 7 but with that machine it's not normal take so long to enter in Revit.... Did you turn ON the "Hardware Acceleration"??

Hi Thank you for every ones input. In the end I rebuilt the system re-installing Windows 7 64 and I must say it was a lot less painful than I thought. Whole process, including reinstall of software takes around 4 hours.In relation to the problems above, I was also having issues with 2010 so made the decision to replace the operating system. The installed Windows 7 was an upgrade on Vista 64 so there was probably a few issues lingering from that.Windows 7 64 reinstalled itself while keeping all my data, copying the program specific data into a windows.old directory and after installing the Dell system drivers etc., my Revit 2011 now loads in 15 seconds rather than 10 minutes. 2010 works as well.I made sure I could see the "hidden files" in the Windows Explorer in order to access the Program data directories.All in all it solved the issue and is probably the way to go if the effort involved in solving an issue is more than 4 hours Did have a slight scare when installing a program called AutoIT which I use for CAD and BIM automation. Installing this software with its 64bit extensions compromised the operation of Revit so it was backed out and installed as a 32bit application. Thanks Kerry

After different answers in different forums I found the answer to my prayers... The cause of the hang is a conflict with the ArchVision® Content Manager..... Not the path but the content. I have the whole RPC collection. Now I put all in a different folder, and now Revit starts only with the original rpcs that comes with the program. Thank you everybody for all the help !!!
