I have been using Sweet Home3D on my laptop (i7 windows8) for app 5 months now I installed the Latest (July 2014) version of Sweet Home3D after my laptop started to freeze up regularly. I open my project, do some minor changes to my floor plan, then it starts freezing up again, or it takes very long to actually respond to what I am doing.

1. My Windows task manager states that "not responding" Java rendering...

2. Should I follow the guidelines as advised in the forums earlier this year or should I follow another route to alleviate the problem?

Please advise, as this is a fantastic software and I would like to finish my first house project and more.

Thank you
