do I have to deactivate the software first than reactivate it afterword? Right Now Z is acting very squirly and on a 500k model for zremesh its taking about 20 minutes and even longer for a 500k unwrap for UV’s. I usually format my HD every couple of months anyway so I just would like to know.
WHAT? Reformat every 2 months??? WHY?
I didnt say every 2 months. It has nothing to do with every 2 months I havn’t reformatted my HD since March and it is needed for a redo. I used to work with a guy who programmed for IBM (CMOS and other things) he also said that running a HD for a long time is like stuffing a dishwasher with dishes and not running it.
For a 3770k with 16gb of mem to be taking about 30 minutes on a 500k texture map there has to be something either going wrong with the background processes of Win8 x64 or one of the updates that ms is throwing out is causing a hickup with the zbrush software. Only one way to check it out.
ZBrush will use 2Gb. Run disk defragmenter lately? Removal of unwanted files, Scanning and repairing Registry errors; Programs available fairly cheap. How much free space on drive?
its an 256gb ssd and using up about 90gb of that.

Look I know where you are getting at I just feel like this is a problem with something running in the background. + I do like to start from a clean slate on occasion so it is better to find out about this now than have the software that I paid for locked out because they think I am putting it onto multiple systems.
On a 32-bit OS, that’s correct. On a 64-bit OS, ZBrush can use up to 4 GB.
