Re: Query Analyzer isqlw.exe application hang with Object Browser

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Further specific detail: the system hangs temporarily when the mouse hovers on the Tools->Object Browser menu option. Don't even have to click on the Object Browser menu option. After about 60 seconds, the submenu with Show/Hide on it appears.

I suppose that symptom makes this a WinXP desktop issue.

I was working, running queries in Query Analyzer on my PC desktop (running XP Pro) against a SQL2K instance on a server on our LAN. When all of a sudden the Object Browser disappeared.

When I click on the menu option in QA to show the Object Browser, the application hangs; there is a corresponding hang entry in the Event Log->Applications view on my PC.

The SQL 2K database was patched to SP4 last year and has been working stably. I've been using QA from this PC for the past year with no issues.

Queries can still be executed against the server in the QA window onmy desktop. I am also able to browse the database objects using Enterprise Manager. Only the Object Browser in QA is broken, as far as I can tell.

I've tried both Windows Authentication and SQL Authentication. The results are the same.

I've rebooted my PC. No change.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
