ODBC and Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

I can imagine that this is a subject which has passed here many times
before.
Ever since I have Vista, my ODBC or ADODB connection through code works
extremly slow... minutes to fetch some records. running the same code on an
xp takes a couple of seconds.

I know there has been messages on this on the internet but never any
answers... Does anybody know the status of this ? Are they fixing it ?

Thanks,

Jurgen.
