Slow performance with Windows XP
Slow performance with Windows XP
(OP)
We have a software product that is developed in Clarion. It is mature product that runs on Windows 95 and higher.
One process when running this application (disk intensive process creating files) takes about 15-20 minutes on Windows XP instead of less than minute when using Windows ME or Windows 98
We have lots of users of the software. It primarily happens on Windows XP although on one occasion one of our users indicated it took this performance hit on Windows 2000
I have some users who are using Windows XP who are not having problems but most are.
What could the issue be?
Our end users are very frustrated.
Is there a registry entry that we need to chang.

I hope this narrows your search for a solution.

I think that if you have an application compiled on an older version (prior to C55H) of Clarion you might have a problem though.
Have the application recompiled using at least Clarion version 5.5H and you should be fine.
I run with a number of anti-virus checkers just fine.

We are looking at moving on up to 5 or 6
Good Luck

Maybe if you use stream() it will be faster, it worked for me.

If you are using TCPIP - Check your MTU settings.
I am using Clarion with TPS database on Win98, NT4, Win2000 and XP on a TCP/IP network and experienced a problem similar to yours when using XP.
The following is a summary of default MTU sizes for different network media.
Network MTU (bytes)
-----------------------------------
Ethernet 1500
IEEE 802.3/802.2 1492
PPPoE (WAN Miniport) 1480
X.25 576
Goto this link for details: http://help.stargate.net/broadband/mtu.shtml
You can check your MTU setting using the DOS Ping Test: http://help.stargate.net/broadband/mtu_ping_test.shtml
For Windows 95, 98, ME and NT 4.0 - use the Freeware GUI utility DrTCP. It is available for download at http://www.dslreports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe.
Note: If have XP on a laptop (ie .Office/Home), it may pay to check your MTU values at each location and set to the lowest value.
Cheers..
