Slow run :(

[MrBabis]

On one of company computers one (company related)program runs slow (when searching in the databse for events) just on one of computers.
One way is to reinstall, but it takes a long time and all those license and keys....

I traid to clear registry and register that app. related dlls and repair database with build in functions but with no results.
It is WinXP with SP1, computer is clean and defragmebted.
(I am afraid to update to SP2)

I not know if it is some fast way out. It may also not exist.....

Not sure what version of XP your using nihil but those directions get a tad confusing after <start>!

I'm just not sure which operating system he's using.... hehe

I've got Start --> Control Panel --> Taskbar & Start Menu
Yet there's no Advanced tab.. (XP Pro)

Then.. I've got

Start --> Settings --> Taskbar & Start Menu --> Advanced and then I've got a Clear button but that only clears my Recent Documents/History seems like a pretty moot point that won't accomplish much (especially since the rest are just single commands) (2000 Pro)


*tells nihil to just go back to sipping his pint*

Peace,

Hey Hey,

If it happened when you installed the program and you don't have the rights to uninstall it... it sounds like you're basically SOL... submit a request to have it uninstalled... Maybe the helpdesk/techies will come by and fix it for you... Does the computer have lower specs than the others that are running the software? Do you have a lot of extra things running in the background? How many processes are running? What are they, how much RAM is used, how much do you have... how much does this program want.. what's your processor speed... It sounds like the computer is just being over worked...

Peace,
HT

Your kidding right..........

There must have been 20+ security patches since SP2 came out, I would be very surprised if it is only the fact, that you tried to do an install/reinstall and messed with dll's, that the program is slow.

Bite the bullet and get SP2, otherwise spend hours cleaning the crap that is going to if not allready infect that PC, you might want to consider this as maybe one of the reasons it is sloooooow.


And if it is not doing it automatically, you will have to re-enable windows auto update in the services(sounds like it was disabled)http://www.cs.duke.edu/csl/faqs/autoupdate.php
