..Net app's start up [a lot] slower than their VB6 counterparts but, once
they're /running/, there's not a /lot/ in it between a VB6 written
program and a VB.Net /written/ one.
However, what comes out of the "Upgrade" wizard won't be /anywhere/ near
as efficient (i.e. as fast) as the code that you'd write from scratch.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with hard drive
space. I have about 1.5G left
I hit the smae thing a couple of weeks ago - Win'XP SP2 with less than
500MB of free disk space is downright *painful*. 1.5GB should be OK, so
long as you've got (a) a fairly beefy processor and (b) loads of
physical memory to take the strain off the paging file.
