Programs starts way to slow after hitting the start button

[marcq]

Each time when i press "start" in the VB-editor to see the results... it takes a looooong time before the program starts to run.... who knows how to speed up this procedure ?

(i wait like 30sec till 1min on a 2Ghz machine)

Whoa that's pretty bad. Try defragmenting your hard drive. That should speed it up a LITTLe at least... Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter.

[edit]Also - how much RAM do you have? If you have 128 MB or below, (and if you're running XP especially) you should *definately* consider upgrading it. [/edit]


gL with your computer,

.NET isn't like VB6 where when you press 'Start' it compiles/builds the solution into an exe, whereas VB6 interpreted the code on the fly (that is why you could change it while it was running). So the pause is the computer actually building the application along with everything else in the solution.

I also have a strange problem, that sometimes an application wont run after hitting the start button! I occasionally have to restart the application a couple of times before it works!

Give the folks at Microsoft a ring. They should be able to fix your problems. Also - try getting the latest updates for everything on your computer - it may help.
