Perspectives 3 just made cc3+ very glitchy

I just downloaded and installed perspectives 3. I'm looking forward to trying out this program, once I get my other projects finished!!!
However, I did notice a couple of things.
#1 - I don't have the Perspectives icon on my tool bar to switch to. I have cc3+/dd3/cd3/ca(even though I don't have character artist... yet) but no per.
#2 - my cc3+ just got a LOT slower, and more prone to crashing. It took almost 5 minutes to load my current mapping project back into the window.
Is there some way to fix this?

If this doesn't work, your best bet is to contact support. Reinstalling everything may not be necessary.
Maybe it will be ok when you start up in the morning. I know it sounds daft, but you never know...
If not, then at least we have a helpful and responsive support system here. I'm sure it won't be long before you're right back on track.
Does NAN still mean "Not a number" (Java)?
If that is what it means, then as I would understand the problem there's a corruption of the script somewhere. Something is waiting for a numeric piece of data to be input or passed to it, and its getting something else instead - something rather than nothing at all, but the something its getting just isn't a number.
Just a stab in the dark there. My Java training is... ummmm...15 years(?) out of date! (I need one of Dogtag's cheesy apologetic grins here, but I'm too tired to remember how to do it)
EDIT: Oh sorry - I misread Ladiestorm's post - thought she wrote NAN, not TAN. I really am tired. Just ignore me.
EDIT2: No. Ladiestorm said NAN, NAN the first time, but TAN, TAN the second time - so now I don't know if what I said is relevant or not.
The NAN,NAN sometimes happens when a symbol gets too far outside of the map, or is enlarged to a point that it just can't be loaded, or something else odd that makes it unable to be displayed.
To fix it, click the zoom button. Rather than selecting two points with the mouse, type in two coordinates on the command line. Use 0,0 and 100,100. This should get your map back in focus.
Now slowly zoom out until you can see your whole map.
Now click erase, right click and choose ALL, then right click and choose Combine>NOT, then select your entire map. Then do it. This should erase anything that is outside the bounds of the map.
After this, do a zoom extents to make sure it got rid of the problem.
I've only just got my brain in thinking order this morning (its 6.20 am here), so I won't add anything more, other than to say that I have every faith in Simon, Remy and Ralf. If it can be saved, then they will know what to do.
I'm going to email my fcw to Mark, and see if he can pull it up in his cc3+. But I'm going to act as if it's lost, shrug it off (sigh) and start over, and not waste any more time. At least I know exactly what I want to do this time around, so it should only take me three or four days to get back where I was.
But I just got an email from Ralf, let's see what he says.
Have you tried clicking on a map, not a character drawing, then switching to Perspectives once the map loads ?
I have currently uninstalled it, and will try to reinstall and work out the kinks AFTER I get these other projects done.
On a good note... Ralf sent me a fix that worked, and I have my castle map back. I have to transfer the other two levels over to the new fcw, and I have to go back and redo my bitmap sizes, effects, and redo my sheets, which will take a few hours.... but at least it's hours and not days. So I really only lost a day and a half.
My program is still a little glitchy though. It's sluggish, and takes longer to load my maps. I'm hoping a new set of repairs, now that I've uninstalled perspectives will fix that.
