[SOLVED] ORCAD 16.3 PCB Editor/Design entry loads slow on Windows 8

[senmerida]

Hi,
I've been using Orcad design for PCB design in a windows 7 PC. Now that i've upgraded to alaptop with windows 8, i had installed the software onto that. The tool is opening but dead slow. It takes almost 15 minutes to load, and another 10 minutes to open a design. Is it about windows 8? Should i try installing windows 7 and try it?

Thanks
