New PC - Sage acting weird in SO Invoice Entry

    The client received a new PC. IT setup Sage Workstation. I uninstalled and reinstalled to ensure it was done correctly. Everything seemed to be working fine. Three hours later the client emailed "It's doing it again."

    In Sales Order Invoice Entry ONLY, the screen opens with incomplete data and shows "(Not Responding)" forever. This was working immediately after reinstalling the client. Other screens open fine for him, Sales Order Entry and Item Inquiry for instance.

    Greg, 

    have you tried File>Run and *ESC

    To eliminate the possibility of something custom office related?

    Also try renaming the Sage100 folder under my Documents folder for that user

    I might also try changing screen resolution.

    Thanks for all the suggestions. After seeing it first hand, it feels like AV. All screens are sluggish to open and pause while drawing elements and sometimes freezes at the pause. It does work if you are persistent by closing and re-opening the screen. And it is NOT limited to just SO Invoice Entry.  The new PC has BitDefender on it. This is new for the client and may only be on this new PC. I reached out to IT and have not heard back yet.

    After speaking to IT he says BitDefender is bypassing the Sage folder and it is on another PC that is not having any problems. The one thing he thinks it might be is this PC has Win 11 25H2. Any more ideas?

    IT disabled BitDefender AV. Uninstalled and reinstalled Sage again  - screens still hang halfway through opening. Logged in as Network Administrator - Same thing.

    Wireless networking?  Customized panel?  Scripts?

    @Kevin Moyes - Not wireless, no customizations, no scripts. I am suspecting a hardware issue because of the randomness of it.

    Hardware issues are the hardest to troubleshoot.

    Maybe have the user do other things and see if the slowness happens outside of Sage 100.

    @Kevin Moyes No kidding. So far he has only setup Sage, and as you suggested, I told him to go ahead and install the rest of his programs, Photoshop and other graphics programs, and maybe that will further demonstrate the problem and get IT's attention and fix it.

    Any errors in the Sage 100 activity log?
