I have 2 new top-of-the-line computers in my classroom, and have installed PE12 and PE9 on each one. The problem is that after double-clicking the icons to run the programs, it takes around a full 3 minutes for the program to actually begin opening. Same story is true for each of these 2 machines (even if I "run as administrator"). During the wait, the computers are showing 0 CPU activity. The only caveat I'm aware of here is that we are on a proxy server, but again, CPU activity is nil during the wait.
Here are the basic PC specs:
Dell Optiplex 7010 minitower
Intel Core i7 processor 3.4GHZ
1 TB SATA HDD
16 GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit
Dual AMD Radeon HD 7470 graphics cards
I'm looking for insight and advice on this issue. Thanks!
