First, let me start by explaining the events that lead up to my problem.
(My OS is Windows XP Professional)
I previously had DirectX 8.1 SDK installed on my system, and even though I
went to Add/Remove programs to uninstall it, it would say it was successful
at uninstalling it, but nothing was actually removed. This forced me to
manually delete the DXSDK folder, search the registry for keys related to
the installation, delete them, and also remove the Direct X .cpl file (which
supplied configuration from Control Panel)
After this, I installed the directx 9.0 SDK, which I planned to keep. I
noticed that after installing this, visual studio .NET always took about 20
seconds to load. The HDD light on my case was always lit during the startup
of Visual Studio, so I knew it had to have been loading help files every
time it started.
I have currently uninstalled all signs of any DirectX sdk (or so I hope).
Now, it STILL loads up slowly. When I uninstall the MSDN library (which is
about 1.8GB and comes on 3 CD's), it loads up very quickly.
But keep in mind, I had MSDN AND Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed BEFORE I
removed DX 8.1 SDK and DX 9.0 SDK, and it ran beautifully.
I'm wondering what more I could do to fix this issue? It drives me insane
having to wait forever for VS to load.
I have tried uninstalling MSDN, Visual Studio.NET and all Direct X SDK's,
and running a registry scan, rebooting, and reinstalling it all... It STILL
loads slowly.
Any suggestions are helpful! Thanks!
