Fade effect makes LiveCycle unusable

[albert_clawson]

The last thread on this seems to have died so I am re-posting.  I really need to find a solution for this as I would very much love to use the software I purchased.

When designing a form - starting with a brand new form, empty page - every element that I drag onto the page gradually fades into view, taking about 5 seconds from the time when I drop the element onto the page to the time it is actually in place and ready to be modified.

It does not matter which element I drop in, every one of them does this.  It makes the program so slow that it is unusable.

Is there a way to turn off this visual effect somewhere?  I don't need it and it really causes a problem with the base function of the application.

I wasn't paying attention to the last thread since I probably won't be able to help you, but let's start again.  What version of Designer are you using, and what environment are you running in (OS, etc).

Windows XP Professional SP3 with 2Gb RAM on a Pentium 4 CPU

LiveCycleDesigner ES 8.2.1.4029.1.523496

I don't see an issue.  I'm running a slightly older version, but I have to believe that if this was a version issue Adobe would have heard about it from more people.  Are you running on a laptop or desktop?  All I can think of is for you to check your video card settings, and maybe play with some of the settings for h/w acceleration and effects.  Maybe there's some wierd driver thing going on.

A newer machine fixed the issue.
