VS2003 Very slow!

[hog]

OK..... groan still no joy.

Ive now logged this with the laptop supplier as it works fine on the other PC and laptops but not mine even after a fresh install.

It is so slow I fall asleep just waiting for it to do anything

Are all your hardware device drivers up-to-date?

 

[hog]

Well I would hope so I the laptop was only bought last week

 

[Robby]

Hmmm.

 

[hog]

Me thinks Im gonna wipe the damn thing and reinstall the whole OS and everything

 

[hog]

Aha...four hours later and..........Yahooo the works a dream

All I need do is install the work specific software tomorrow and hopefully all will remain well.

Nice and fast, smooth and on the test with the backspace key only 1% rather than 100%

I thought these suppliers were supposed to send their goods out pre-optimiszed?

 

[Robby]

was it a bunch of services (software) ?

 

[hog]

Its a single CD recovery disk which puts everything back to as it supposedly was when it left the supplier.

I then had to install VS 2003 and all my copy all my backup from my firewire drive, hence the time

Its flying now though...thank God

Feed back from Microsoft which may be helpful to other on 2003 that may find themselves in the same boat that I did

I was investigating about your issue, and probably found the problem, related to a bug of VS.NET 2003.

For this reason, I was preparing a mail, asking to you some tests to do:
- Have you enabled an AntiVirus? Please try to disable it.
- Please install Windows Script 5.6, from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4

- Are you using a Remote Web Server for ASP.NET projects?
- Which process takes 90% CPU while editing a source file?
- Have you loaded some 3rd party add-ins?
- Please locate your files *.licx (license files) and delete every
eventual blank line (this is probably the bug, youve encountered)


Anyway, being the problem solved, the previous recommendations could be
useful in future.


Being the problem solved, Im going to close this case. Please remember
that, as the problem is probably related to a bug of the product, you
wont be charged for any technical support incident.
