Slic3r not responding
I just got a refurbished laptop to dedicate for my 3D printing. I loaded all the software and Slic3r just hangs on the platter, flashes white and then says "not responding" at the top of the screen for about 20 seconds and then pops up again for about 30 seconds and then repeats. If I don't add a part or try and move anything on the platter I can navigate to the different screens and the programs works. I even loaded my configuration file succesfully but as soon as I touch the patter, it blinks and freezes up. I've tried going back a few revisions without success.
The odd thing is I checked all the drivers and I was running a Wintel SBC which has driver levels as the laptop on the Intel HD Graphics, OpenGL, Shader etc..
The laptop is running Windows 10 Pro 64bit. The processor is an i5-3320M. I can run Craftware, Kissslicer and Cura with no problems.
Please help
Re: Slic3r not responding
I'm having exactly the same problem.
Slic3r starts up in the 3D view, where it gets stuck and the computer generates message 'program not responding'. After a while the program comes alive again, gets a few steps further in the execution and gets stuck again. This is repeated endlessly.
The 3D view is the only panel that has this problem. Other views (2D view, layer view,...) are working normally. As long as you are not in the 3D view, all is working normally. When you switch to 3D again, execution is interrupted again with very very long response times.
Re: Slic3r not responding
There is an issue with the Intel HD graphics driver after Windows 10 Update:

Re: Slic3r not responding
I was able to get it working by going back a restore point, updating windows and installing Slic3r again. Something must have changed with Windows 10 since it is now happy.
I did not update the intel driver as I have a refurbished dell that is no longer supported. intel won't provide an update since it was a Dell and Dell doesn't care since it is refurbished. I love a catch 22.
Re: Slic3r not responding
Well, yesterday S3R was working and today it isn't! Getting the dreaded prolonged 'Not Responding' message constantly. I have updated my graphics driver, re-installed S3R, and still no luck.
Anybody any ideas, all would be appreciated.
I am using Windows 10 (urgh) and my updated driver (as of this afternoon) is Intel(R) HD Graphics version 10.18.10.4653 (dated as last updated on 7/4/2017).
Getting to the stage of taking the computer to the top of a high building and seeing if it will 'fly'. LOL 😈
