Illustrator CC Runs Poorly on Fast Windows 8.1 Machine (Laggy Movement etc)

Illustrator CC runs very sluggishly on my Windows 8.1 machine.
Computer specs:
i7 3770k
32GB Ram
Installed on Samsung EVO SSD
GTX 780 ACX graphics card
It feels like at the very core of the program it is simply poorly optimized. I can draw a shape as simple as a square and just moving that square has roughly a quarter second delay that Adobe Illustrator CS6 doesn't have. This makes everything about the program feel extremely laggy and sluggish in comparison.
I have both the Tahoma and Verdana fonts installed. I've also tried re-installing the program with no success.
CS6 continues to run flawlessly. Any idea what could be causing this?

Did you figure this out?
If not, have a look at your cores... see if Illustrator is only using one. I think it's badly "optimised" as I see many different things only using one core and causing delays in OS and Illustrator.

  • Illustrator CC running very slow on Windows 7 PC

    Hi there,
    I'm running Windows 7 64bit with an Intel core i7 4790K with 8 GIG of high speed Dominator DDR3 RAM and I've got two GPUs (AMD R9 290 4GB) but since I've started working on this PC from home I've noticed how poor Illustrator runs. I bring in some texture layers from my stock files (which ive used for years) and illustrator just comes to a halt. It takes like 5 minutes to move a layer around.. yet my CPU usage doesn't hit over 10% and memory used is 4GB out of 8GB. I'm very confused with such a high spec PC, how illustrator is struggling to perform basic operations.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi fiegan,
    Can you please tell us more about how are you installing it? Via Creative Cloud application or Illustrator separately ? What is your netwrok speed etc.

  • I have upgraded to iTunes 10.4 this morning, and now my iTunes toolbar no longer works. I'm running it on a windows 7 x64 machine.

    After upgrading my iTunes installation to 10.4 my toolbar has stopped working completely.
    The start/stop, back and forward, volume slider and restore buttons do nothing at all when clicked.
    They worked perfectly before the upgrade, and I have rebooted/shutdown my machine numerious times and it still doesn't work.
    I am running Windows 7 x64 on an HP 8000 Elite (Core Duo E8500 3.16GHz with 8GB)
    Any ideas, or is it a code problem???

    Well everything works fine for me using 64 bit Windows 7 on a Dell XPS.
    I guess you could try a repair install of iTunes to see if that helps. Try disconnecting from the Internet disabling all security software while you do the repair in case something is getting blocked.
    If that doesn't work, try another account to see if the problem is account specific. If it is Try the things in the section on user specific problems in this troubleshooting article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    However the section on content specific problems is probably not relevant.

  • I would like to jam it where the sun does not shine. Something as ubiquitous as itunes and it won't run after download to Windows 7 64bit machine.

    Millions of people use this software.  How can these problems exist?
    I am sick of the the compatibility problems and all the other crap.
    I am sick of the software locking up as soon as it starts up - not responding messages,
    I have spent hours - installing, uninstalling, reading all this help - nothing helps!!!
    I AM FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF.  What do I do now.
    I need this software so that I can synch and back up my contacts.
    Perhaps what I really need is a different smart phone.  Any suggestions?
    Can I back up and synch my contacts with my iphone without using itunes?

    You appear to be able to backup your contacts without iTunes.  Google "backup iphone contacts without itunes".
    The way to avoid having to get a tech person in is to get past the idea that your problem (which you still haven't defined) is "beyond my ability to fix".  ;-)

  • I am not able to access ANSI character ALT 0165 Symbols font (infinity symbol) in Illustrator in CS (Windows 8.1) but I can access it in Illustrator 10 running on Windows XP. Any way to download the complete symbol character set under symbols to Illustrat

    I need to use the infinity symbol in Illustrator but it is not available in Illustrator in CS5 running on Windows 8.1. It is available in Illustrator 10 running on Windows XP. Is there any way to access the INFINITY character under fonts in Illustrator in CS5 (Windows 8.1)?

    Thank you for your suggestion. But I do not know how to access UNICODE. How do I download Unicode fonts?
    Also I have a problem working copying illustrations from Illustrator launched from CS5. The illustration does not copy correctly into FrameMaker 10 with Windows 8.1. However, the illustration copies correctly if I use Illustrator 10 in my computer with Windows XP. How do I solve this?
    When I called Adobe I was just told that they do not support CS5.

  • My Windows programs on VM Ware Fusion run poorly on Yosemite.  Can I change back to Mavericks OS?

    My Windows programs on VM Ware Fusion run poorly on Yosemite OS.  Can I regress to the Mavericks OS?

    Yes.
    Your options depend on a few factors, like:
    if you made a backup of your Mavericks installation (like with Time Machine) before you upgraded to Yosemite
    what the original OS was that came on your Mac when it was new
    if your Mac is capable of internet recovery
    if your Mac originally came with installer disks (like DVDs), and if you still have those disks.

  • Poor performance in Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    I recently have switched to Windows 8, and have noticed that Jabber performance is extremely poor. In Windows 7 I had no issues. Everything appears to work fine until I start joining chat rooms. Some of the rooms I'm in see a large amount of activity, when I first join it starts syncing up the messages quickly at first, but as it goes it gets slower and slower. Once it is caught up, when I try to switch to other chat rooms or people, it freezes for 15 - 30 seconds and then switched to the chat tab I'm clicking on.
    This is rather frustrating, I'm currently using 10.6.0 Build 1, any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    The RAM usage is ~60 - 70MB, nothing too bad. I was monitoring it a bit and it looks like the constraint is the CPU. I'm running an i5 and it's consistently taking up 30 - 40% !! When it locks up it spikes to 100%.
    These are persistent chat rooms, but is evident even when I'm not in the chat rooms. After a few hours of operation Jabber becomes utterly unusable.
    I've also tried re-installing, it has had no effect.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to resolve Error Code 16 for Illustrator CC and Photoshop CC on Windows 7 Professional

    I am running adobe CC on windows 7 professional. Illustrator and Photoshop were both running just fine until about 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled and installed illustrator and photoshop, when that did not work I tried uninstalling and installing Adobe CC - this still did not work. I followed the steps outlined by Adobe on this page: Configuration error 16 | CC, CS. I also tried restoring a backed up version of adobe illustrator. I still have not had any luck resolving the issue. Any solutions?

    We can't know. You have not provided exact system information or details like what the prefs for hardware acceleration look like, what color profiles are used, what peripherals and so on. From simple graphics issues to a flaky driver for a tablet this could be anything.

  • What can I do to respond to an "Adobe Illustrator cannot run" message?

    I have a PC running Windows7 with a virtual machine running in XP Mode.  I loaded my old Adobe Illustrator 9.0 on the XP side.  The installation went smoothly.  When I try to start Illustrator I receive a "Adobe Illustrator cannot run" message.  Criptic to the point of being useless.  I used Windows Explorer to pull up all the Adobe files.  Nothing appears amiss.  Ideas/suggestions will be welcomed.
    Thanks 

    Well folks I finally got my "can't connect to iTunes" issues fixed. Seems that there was an unauthorized change to my email address and account therefore not allowing mr to connect to iTunes.
    Here is how I got it fixed.
    1. Contacted iTunes store support
    2. Followed their instructions and replyed with the following info:
    An order number from one of my purchases
    Last 4 digits of the c.c. Used for the iTunes store acct
    Answer to one of my security questions
    And 2 items from this list.
    Birthdate
    Billing address for Acct
    Phone number on acct
    It was after all of this that they saw that someone had made an account modification back in February when the issue began. Seems they changed my email address just slightly and that is what kept me from being able to sign in and not a password issue. This was likely due to a phishing email that came out in conjunction with iCloud asking users to change their passwords to a more secure form by adding a capital and number.
    To get all of this cleared up it took about 4 days as we emailed back and forth. I also needed a seperate email address they could use to send me info. Once they determined the issues and went to get them fixed by changing the email address associated with the acct and I created a new password I was able to access iTunes with no issues and even my previously thought lost acct balance was there.
    Hope this helps

  • Running iTunes 8 on Windows Server 2003, avoiding 2096 error

    Since QuickTime 7.5,nor iTunes neither QuickTime would run on my Server 2003, and the famous 2096 error came up. Unfortunately the new 2+ iPod firmware required iTunes 8 so I had to do something about it. The solution by apple was to turn off compatibility mode, but that was not on in the first place. Reinstalling, searching the net for solutions,.. nothing helped.
    So here is how I solved my problem. QuickTime 7.5+ requires at least XP SP2 so i followed this guide > http://www.sheebz.net/post/2008/03/Running-Photoshop-CS3-on-Windows-2003-Server. aspx
    and did the same both for the QuickTime and iTunes executables(instead of the setup.exe in the guide), and viola they are running. Note that the Microsoft Application Verifier program must be running when you start iTunes or QuickTime. The cool thing is that you have to do this only once, seems it just needs to pass the first check and after that you're good to go, no need for the Microsoft Application Verifier to be running anymore. Enjoy

    Well now we're getting somewhere.
    The RDP connection is fast, as there is nothing but 100Mb/s LAN and a switch between my desktop and the server, so thats not it. Quicktime is fine, so thats not it.
    I AM, however, running iTunes 4.8.0.32. I'm not very keen on the idea of moving to 6.0.2 for reasons that I'd rather not go into on this particular board... Is (the upgrade) this something i can do on the one machine unassociated with my apple ID? What parts of the older version are problematic?
    thanks!

  • What to do when Firefox runs slowly and hangups. Running on two PCs -- Windows XP & Windows 8.

    Firefox has been working great on both PCs until the last week or so. If it was just running poorly on the PC with Windows XP, I wouldn't be so concerned. But it's running just as poorly on a new laptop with Windows 8. It seems to hang up if I have more than 3 tabs open at once or if I click a link within a site, the new tab opening hangs up. Frustrating! Can anyone offer some advice?

    Please see help article [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
    Thanks!

  • HP Split X2 upgraded from Windows 8 pre-loaded to Win 8.1, now cannot run Add feature to Windows 8.1

    Hi!
      i have purchased a HP Split X2 13.3" laptop in a computer show slightly more than 1 year ago.
    it comes with Windows 8 pre-loaded at that time.
      Later on, Microsoft offer free upgrade for all Win 8 to Win 8.1 and i did that as well.
    Everything goes perfectly smooth unless recently when i try to go Control Panel run Add Feature to Windows 8.1,
    it ask me for product key!!
      When i looked the bottom of my Split X2 laptop, it does not have the sticker of the Windows product key. There is only 1 Windows 8 hologen sticker! Hence, i use some key finder application to detect the product key.
      I enter the product key when i run Add Feature to Win 8.1 again, but the Windows prompted me key is not valid.
    Why?
      The Win8.1 insalled is genuine version. I can perform regular Windows updates without issue.
      Appreciate if any expert can help to resolve my issue.
    Thanks a lot,
    Nkboy

    Hi
    The Add Feature is to upgrade your current Windows 8/8.1 Core Edition to Windows 8/8.1 Pro or Windows 8/8.1 Media Center Edition.
    It requires you to purchase particular Product key with regard to Add Features option.

    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.
