I have just upgraded to Vista so that I can use 4mg of ram ( silly me) Now every thing is running slooow. I am fed up with not responding messages. When running in administrator it appears to be better but with a large drawing saving and closing are so slooow. Any suggestions?

Actually and contrary to some comments, progeCAD in test environment normally opens/saves at least 4-5% faster than XP. There are also observations of greater stability with large files and graphics. No joke
It would be good to know more about your problem. Is your system custom built or off-the-shelf? HP? Acer? Dell? Did you just recently upgrade the RAM, too? Do all RAM chips have matching speeds? What kind of graphics card do you have precisely? How badly fragmented is you hard disk since your "upgrade"? etc...
What is your version of progeCAD? 8.0.18.18 (latest)?
Also, tell us what kind of prinetr you have (make, model, connection type), as this can have a bearing on speed. One reason is that Open ODA libraries try to get information about latest printer used in each layout.
Also confirm that you are not trying to open/save this file to a network, compressed, virtual or encrypted drive.
How well do other large graphics applications open/save (such as GIMP, Photoshop or Visio)
