[Scilab-users] Scilab slowing down computer heavilly

[Rafael Guerra]

In case this may help someone, one thing that I have just tested and fixed on the spot my issue of "PC heavilly slowed down" by Scilab was to do:

Scilab 5.5.2 menu > Edit > Preferences > Desktop Layout > Selected "Simple" Layout (it was set as "Integrated" before), while keeping the box "Save layout on exit" checked > restarted Scilab and voila.

Thanks and regards,

Rafael

Hi Antoine,

Thanks for your reply and I am sorry but I provided misleading information.

I have launched Scilab with no other programs running except Outlook, and laptop performance was good.
There should be interference with some other program that I need to identify (may be VMWare or other heavy duty program)

My Display Adapters are:
-  Intel HD Graphics 4600
- NVIDIA Quadro K4100M
- VNC Mirror Driver

There are so many variables ... 
If I found something in a systematic/reproducible way I will bother you again.

My apologies and thanks.

Rafael

	Hi Rafael,


Did you try to dock your laptop, without plugging the screens? Is the problem still there?

It might be some graphic driver issues.

Is your laptop equipped with an hybrid graphic card (ie integrated small one for the main screen and a discrete one for the external screens)?

Could you give us the exact model to see whether one of us can reproduce the issue?


Cheers,


Antoine
