I have run anti-spyware. I have SQL Server Express installed on my
machine. I stopped the service and there is no difference related to my
problem. I have lots of HD space (about 50% free on 80GB drive).

do you have sql server on your local machine?

i had the same complaint at first; but i haven't had trouble with it
for a little while

are you out of harddrive space; or close to it?
you shouldn't ever take a NTFS volume below 15% free space for example

Your machine specs look perfectly reasonable.

Be aware that this is a beta hotfix, so you might want to wait until this is
wrapped up in a bona fide service pack.

The issues you are experiencing are well-known and is purely a problem with
the rushed "not-quite-ready-for-prime-time" VB 2005 release.

Yesterday I ran the Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard for a VB6 app. There
were many errors and warnings, more or less what I was expecting, so I
have been working through these. The problem is that the IDE is SO
PAINFULLY SLOW. When I create a new line or make any modifications to
the code and move to the next line, I have to wait 1-2 seconds before I
get the cursor back.On pressing carriage return, the CPU spikes up to
80%. Is there any way around this?! Is it because of all those errors
and warnings that it is trying to refresh? In my googling I found that
MS Knowledge Base article KB917452 and KB920805 more or less addressed
my issue, so I contacted MS and got the Hotfix. But that made no
difference. I have tried disabling statement completion, smart
indenting...no effect. The project really isn't even that big @ 40 or
so classes and modules. I have an average development system (2.8GHz,
1GB RAM, Win XP Pro). When I ran the machine in safemode, the IDE was
perfectly responsive. That may lead you to think that I am running a
bunch of crap in the background, but I am not.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Marcus
