Re: Time delay of minutes when ActiveX control is loaded

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

that would explain why I had not seen it, I have turned certificates off for
other reasons. As far as getting MS to change that maybe we could get it
added to the posted wish list since it obviously has severe performance
issues.

Thanks for your answer. It made me investigate further:

* Created new Windows application project in VS 2005
* Built the application and executed it outside VS. The Form1 is displayed
without triggering my sw firewall.
* Added the "Microsoft Visio 11.0 Drawing Control" to the Form1.
* Built the app and executed it outside VS. The firewall is triggered. My
app is trying to contact crl.microsoft.com.

The conclusion is that it must be the Visio control trying to verify if
the
certificate has expired or not. To this I found a solution elsewhere on
the
net. It solves the problem globaly in Windows. Even if I can live with
that
solution I would still like to stop the Visio control from accessing the
internet locally in my app. Any suggestions?

Below is the solution to stop Windows from trying the verify if a
certificated
drivers certificate has expired or not:

* Start Internet explorer and click... Tools | Internet Options

* Click the Advanced tab, then scroll down to Security:

* Uncheck the boxes that say "Check for publishers certificate revocation"
and "Check for servers certificate revocation" (may require
restart)

I haven't seen visio controls try to access the network. I have seen net
2.0
applications bring up an SVCHOST module though that appears to do DNS
calls.
I'd suggest you might want to check your initialization code to see what
kind of queries happen before you open the form/host.
