Maya Hangs

Maya

A couple more issues I'm having is with Maya hanging. It hangs 3 times regularly for about 30sec. which i find really annoying-

  1. when i first open the material editor
  2. after using setting/preferences/preferences
  3. after using animation preferences

if there's any way to fix or minimize the hang time?

thanks in advance

Looks like a fileIO problem. Did you set up Maya or your user account (and hence MAYA_APP_DIR ) on a slow network drive?
