    There's your problem. You need to install a 'G' :cool: 2GB can't hurt, and what disks you have? Check Task manager / performance Monitor if memory is exhausted, and if VS2005 is wapping like mad.

    I've been running VS2005 on a configuration like that, and while it doesn't rock, it at least rolls.

    At work I have a workstation that has exactly that configuration and runs pretty smooth. It does get slow however if I try to add a reference to my project for the first time. I think he's better off poking his boss for a dual cpu workstation (core 2 duo or something like that) and 2G+ memory.

      Yes, I'm already thinking about buying supercomputer to work with VS2005... I wonder if I could turn off some feats in VS2005... I hope it wouldn't turn into notepad after that... 8)

        I'm glad it's just not me! At first I thought it might be an unintended consequence of the odd way we use NUnit (for testing native C++ code, no less! *), but I've since had the same behaviour confirmed to me by a .NET developer I know who is seeing the same thing with a third party component. I guess managed debuggers still have some way to go to mature. :doh: * My current pet project is a native Visual Studio automation library that can handle everything from VS6 and eVC4 up to VS2005. The unit tests involve automating five different versions of Visual Studio running exactly the same test code. No conditional compilation, no checking which interface is returned...it just works. :cool: When it's a bit more advanced and we've used it in anger, there's definitely an article in there somewhere... :)

              Try turning off animations, that speeds it up quite a bit.

                Damn it! It is sooo slow! 8( I am testing my application in NUnit. I do "attach to process" to do some debugging. This action took me about 5 seconds in VS2003. Now I can read all postings in this forum before VS2005 reply sthm to my action. I have 1 GB of memory, Pentium 4 3.00 Hz with HT - is this configuration too bad for VS2005?

                Try updating your graphics drivers - I installed the latest Nvidia ones and found that VS went from being unusably slow (e.g. taking 30 seconds to open the "find" dialog) to just annoyingly slow

                  That's my laptop configuration (except for the 3 hz that has already been mentioned). VS2005 rocks. Well, it rocks after I wiped the hard disk, re-installed the OS and only the stuff I need for dev. Marc

                    IMO SP1 speeds some things up, however installing SP1 isn't too spritely either ;)
