Windows in Analytica open slowly in Windows Vista

Resolved in Analytica 4.1.0

When you open a window inside Analytica, such as an object window, diagram, etc., a small animation occurs that makes it appear that the window is expanding from a point. Normally this animation flashes by in less than 1/10 of a second. However, when you have the Windows Aero color scheme selected in Windows Vista, this small animation runs in slow motion and takes several seconds.

Other aspects of Analytica's speed are not impacted. For example, evaluation of models is not slower.

To avoid this problem in Windows Vista, simply change the color scheme to any of the color schemes other than Windows Aero. To change the color scheme, follow these steps:

• Right click on the desktop, select Personalize (This jumps to the Control Panel → Personalization dialog).
• Click on Window Color and Appearance
• Select Open classic appearance properties for more color options
• In the Color Scheme list, select anything other than Windows Aero.
