slow computer,mssql2 000,vs2003,vs20 05 not sure were to post

This is probably not the correct forum but not sure where to post this. I
have a dell pc 2.4 gig intel processor, 1 gig ram, and am runing sql2005 and
have vs 2003 and vs2005 installed plus microsoft office 2003. Everything
works but the machine is very slow. It has 2 hard drives, and windows xp
proffessional operating system. On drive C (main boot drive) it is 40 gigs
with about 10 gigs not used. Also I ran the defragment utility on the disk
and it took about 18 hours to complete! Anyhow any suggestions are
appreciated on things to check or where to post it, thanks!

1 gig ram
And that's your problem right there... 1GB RAM is woefully inadequate for

No reply on my previous query, so I'll post this again. I've done a bit more research in the interim. I'm trying to find an easy way to port code from the older VS2003 format to the format used in VS2005. VS2005 uses partial classes to split off the compiler-generated sections of forms. It keeps the editable files uncluttered. I generated very simple projects with VS2003 and with VS2005 to compare the output. Following are...

Running a solution with about 20 sub-projects total about 150.000 lines of code. Typing code is slow (delay when typing fast). Pressing next line while debugging is slow. Pressing Ctrl-F for quick find is rediculous slow. Everything is slow. Running Exe is fine though This is on a HP Workstation machine with Xeon 3GHz (HT Enabled) with 2 GB

Hi All, Is it possible to set the InitialDirectory property of an OpenFileDialog so it will open at the "My Computer" level? I want it to open showing all the available drives. If so, what do I put in the property? I've tried the obvious - "My Computer", but of course that doesn't do it. Thanks

Hi, I have a problem where our app when compiled in VS2005 runs about 50% the speed it attains in VS2003. This is an unmanaged C++ app. I have tried most combinations of the optimization and language settings with little change in run speed. I compared the generated native code in various places in the code and noticed two things.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
