Simulator running extremely slowly

I’m really interested in having a go at Corona but I’m having issues straight away.  I selected the standard “Public Release” version for Windows, and it all seems to install fine, but when I come to try out a sample project it runs INCREDIBLY slowly.  For example, the HorseAnimation sample project takes literally minutes to load / display each frame.  I’m running Windows 7 on a reasonably modern PC.

Any suggestions?

Hi @epicurus101,

That seems odd. Is the graphics card fairly modern and the drivers up-to-date? Are you running an extreme amount of other programs at the same time, potentially making Windows limit the memory given to Corona? Is this a native install of Windows, or is it running via a “virtual machine” like Parallels or VMWare?

Your reply prompted me to update my drivers, and now it runs fine, thanks!  Surprised how much of a difference that makes.
