How to speed up Visual studio 2003 in Vista?

I am running Visual studio 2003 with framework 1.1 on a vista platform.
However it runs very slow in debug mode, especially while it is loading dlls.
What is the problem? Is there a compatibility problem between XP and Vista?
How to speed it up? If I upgrade the Visual studio 2003 to 2005, will it
solve the
problem?

Are you using a symbol server? Are you debugging in mixed (i.e. both native
and "managed") mode?

In my experience, answering yes to both questions, especially the last,
slows debugging considerably no matter the platform.

In addition to William's comments, are you aware that VS .NET 2003 is not
supported in Vista, and that the major issues are in the debugging area?
If you must continue to use VS .NET 2003, you really should go back to Win
XP.

Dear Bill:

I don't know what mode I am debugging, I simply select start from debug menu
in the IDE environment. I am not aware that I am using any symbol server.

Dear PvdG42:

I am not aware that VS .NET 2003 is not supported in Vista. I was able to
install VS .NET 2003 on Vista and it runs except that it runs very slow in
debug mode.
If I runs the .exe, it runs fine. Is VS .NET 2005 supported in Vista? If
not, how about VS .NET 2008?

The fact that you were able to install it doesn't mean it's working
properly. AMOF, your issues indicate that it is not.

VS 2005 *is* supported. You must install SP1 for VS 2005 and the Vista
patch. You must "run as administrator" for full functionality.

VS 2008 is designed for the Vista security model and works great in Vista.

From the menu choose Project->Properties->Debugging

What I called "mode" the IDE lists as "type".

It shows "AUTO".
If you are build a Win32 application in C or C++ trying changing the setting
to "Native Only".

If you are targetting the .Net platform with MC++, then try changing the
setting to "Managed only".

Dear PvdG42:

I have found the problem, the reason that the VS 2003 .NET runs very slow in
Debug Mode on Vista is that I installed the Visual Studio Service Pack 1. If
I don't install the Visual Studio Service Pack 1, it runs as fast on Vista as
on XP.

OK, glad you solved this issue. Be prepared for others to pop up :)
