So here's the story,
2 days ago, I do a disk cleanup on C: drive, maybe irrelevant, but I don't know.
Yesterday, mastercam takes a long time to open, like 45 seconds, and another 30 to open a part file. I figure it just needs a reboot. No biggie, I say. I'll shut 'er down at the end of the day. As per usual. that will be my restart.
Today I fire her up and it takes FOREVER! I'm talking, 1-1/2 minutes just to launch mastercam. And another minute to open a file.
I figure something got dumped during the disk cleanup. (?) So I do a complete uninstall/re-install of mastercam. Restart PC, restart mastercam, SAME THING!?
I try all the usual stuff, to no avail. I'm stumped. So then I start really thinking... What's different today vs. yesterday? Someone downloading a HUGE file. No, can't be. But what have I got to loose? So I unplug the ethernet cable.
Yahtzee! That did it. Confirmed multiple times. Further narrowed it down to the "customer feedback program." Turned that off, stayed plugged in, and started as usual.
So, all that to ask, Why is the customer feedback program causing me to open slowly?
Sorry for rambling. I'm very excited that I got this far!
