I start LDD 2.0 & it opens to a selection of pre-built models, free play, etc.
Selecting any of these slows the computer to almost a dead halt. I'm running
Windows XP sp2, with 3 Ghz & 300 Gb & updated DirectX. Anyone have any idea
what's going on?

Do you have on-board video, or a plug-in card? I have been informed by LDD QA
that many motherboards with built-in video have problems running 3-d
applications. Your PC is exhibiting the same symptoms as mine, which has
on-board video, see
here. You could try searching for an updated video driver, but there’s no
guarantees - it didn’t work for me.
Good luck.

Here’s my me too post. I have the same issue on my P4 2.26GHz w/ ATI Radeon
8500 card. I had issues running earlier versions of 1.x on that hardware as
well, but 1.6 runs okay.
Incidentally, on my PIII 733 w/ GeForce2 card, after repeatedly telling me there
is no possible way it will even run on such archaic hardware, it actually does
run, albeit too slow to be useable, without any CPU hog issues.

I got it to work fine by doing what Brad74 on the Lego.com forums said:

“I had the same issues with v2.0 Stalled at the initial selection screen. I
did however get it working. What I did was after initial install I un-checked
the run LDD now box and clicked on the link to update Quicktime even though I
was running a very recent version. I am not sure why but after updating
Quicktime and restarting my computer everything runs fine. However it is too bad
that some bricks are no longer available and two models my son and I built now
can not be ordered without major re-works... Not appreciated mostly because
these were some very integral pieces to our models.”
once i loaded the QT (unfortunately i couldn’t find a link on Apple.com for QT
7.1.5 WITHOUT iTunes) i was able to start LDD 2.0 & select a building starting
point (starter model, freeplay, etc.) & loaded & played with no delay.

Based on the rest of this post, I assume you’re not on a Mac. While it used to
be that the only way I could find Quicktime without iTunes was to do a Google
search for standalone quicktime, the standalone Quicktime installer is now on
the main Quicktime download
page. Just click the second radio button (which right now reads QuickTime
7.1.5 for Windows 2000/XP) to download the standalone version. (Note: I am
using Firefox, but it would be really strange for them to hide that from IE
users and not Firefox users.)

Thanks! i’m on firefox too, but all i could see of the secon radio button was
“Windows 200”-the rest must have been cut off as the font size in my firefox
must be too large for some sites or parts of sites. I’m SO glad you pointed
that out- i uninstalled the QT with iTunes & reinstalled just QT & LDD 2.0 works
great.

Thanks for the info - in a coincidental sequence of events, QT informed me there
was a new version and I had downloaded it, less than 24 hours after I had
unsuccessfully tried LDD 2.0. Unfortunately, I hadn’t tried LDD again after
installing the new version of QT. LDD 2.0 now appears to work fine on my PC too,
I will report here if I have any further issues.
