integration with Outlook 2003: slower on XP than W2K? after upgrade?I have a VB.NET (2.0) application that integrates with Outlook 2003. I have windows XP SP2. The users had Windows 2000, and Office 2000. They upgraded (!) to Office 2003. But: - an action that takes 0,5 seconds on my pc, takes them 4-5 seconds - an action that takes 2,5 seconds on my pc, takes them 8-9 seconds So for a test we completely desinstalled Office 2003, and did a full re-install of 2003 on a system. Performance increased with +- 30%: times are now 2,5 seconds and 6 seconds. But still much more than my 0,5 and 2,5.... What's the reason of this performance-problem? The user do have as much RAM as I, do have a better processor! (I have a stupid Centrino, they a P4 with HT). Will installing Windows XP the solution? Does Office 2003 perform better on Windows XP than on Windows 2000? Any help our hints would be really appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance, Pieter Pieter,

Are you than sure that you are not one of those special persons that got from your administrator a connection on a 1Gb port? AndElse My expirience is that the time to get the startup information from Exchange server seems sometimes to be endless, while for persons who never clean up there folders in the pubs (or have very long address lists) it is even longer. Cor I don't even knwo what a 1Gb port is, hehe :-)
Well, I somehow guess it's because of the fact that the clients do have W2000 and not XP. When you see that they do have a 40% performance increase by simply re-installing Outlook 2003 from scratch instead of doing an upgrade from Office 2000 to 2003... But before I ask the administrator to re-install a pc, I'd like to have some support for my theory :) Show quote "Cor Ligthert [MVP]" <notmyfirstn***@planet.nl> wrote in message news:uLWf0zYLGHA.2216@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > Pieter, > > Are you than sure that you are not one of those special persons that got > from your administrator a connection on a 1Gb port? > > AndElse > > My expirience is that the time to get the startup information from > Exchange server seems sometimes to be endless, while for persons who never > clean up there folders in the pubs (or have very long address lists) it is > even longer. > > Cor > Pieter <pietercou***@hotmail.com> wrote:

With that particular upgrade, a new mail profile is a good idea. Try creating a new mail profile on one of the slow machines and see if it helps. -- Brian Tillman  |
