VB exe is very slow with XP SP2

mishi · June 22nd, 2005, 08:01 AM

HI,
My compiled VB6 Application is very slow(in some parts)
when it is running in XP with sp2 environment. It is fine with
XP regular(non SP2) and other OS Like Win2000 and Win98.
When I run the source code it is working perfectly fine (not slow at all).
The problem is when a window is loading and it involves retriving data from database and loading a combo box.

What can be the problem.

Thanks
Mishi

I fixed the problem by compiling to P-Code rather than Native-code.
With methode application is faster in some parts and no-change in others.

I have just hit exactly the same problem!. Compiling to P-code does indeed seem to sort the issue, but do you have any idea why?? and what it actually is in SP2 that is causing the problem??

Regards,
Gareth
