I heard that there are few issues in SP2, Upgrade it to SP3, you can download Crystal reports 2008 sp3 Full Build from SAP Market Place. It works great on Windows 7 64 bit…

no miracle. with the patch is still very slow.
when I open the report and start to work it is reasonbly fast but
becomes slowler and slowler as I continue to keep it open work with it.
thank you

Design time? Never had that issue. I would suspect a background process either taking memory or cpu cycles.
I hope this helps.

After installing Windows 7, Crystal 2008 was extremely slow on initial startup. None of the posted suggestions to correct this problem worked. Days later I saw that Apple Bonjour was loaded and removed it (Never trusted the program). Suddenly, the next time I use Crystal it starts up without any delay just like it did when I used XP.
Thanks, Roy
