I upgraded to Visio 2013. I am using the standard detailed networking template. After adding a few items, Visio has gotten so slow its almost unusable. WWhen I move icons it takes 3-5 seconds to give me back control. ITS terrible. I have a Thinkpad T510 with a system score of 6.9's across the board and one 4.9, so I highly doubt its that. All other applications scream. I tried disabling hardware accelleration and updating my video driver which did nothing.

Like visio 2013, but sad the performance is so bad...any suggestions?

    Hi

    I just started using Visio 2013 Pro and am sorry to say I wish I didn't upgrade to it.

    I have lost so many days of work just trying to open some drawing.

    I was on Visio 2007 and upgrade and now am regretting the move

    I upgrade to Wins 8.1 got a new desktop

    My Files are pretty large and it took nearly an hour for it to open.

    and once it opened, I made the mistake and click on More Shapes, it frozen for 10 minute or more.

    and still no drop down show

    I've been using Visio for 6 years now and I can say this is the worse one soon far

    I going to see if I can roll back to Visio 2007

    I attempted to perform all the fixes in the thread and the program still was performing very slow. Does anyone know when Microsoft will fix the issue? It was so bad, I had to uninstall and go back to Visio 2010.
