I haven't used Clarion on Windows XP that much. I have a couple of suggestions that are no cost. 1. Check the memory on the machine that is running slow and compare it to the systems that are not having the problem. 2. Try running the application in compability mode on the machine running slow.

I hope this narrows your search for a solution.

Check: Opportunistic locking, anti-virus software, cache settings ...

I have 130 Windows XP work stations running a number of Clarion applications. They run faster on XP then they did on any other Windows OS.

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.

I also have notice older Clarion (in my case ancient 2.003) apps run noticably slower on Win2000 and somewhat slower on XP

We are looking at moving on up to 5 or 6


Good Luck

I had the same issue with 2k two years ago, I solved it by using STREAM in my procedure... it worked fine. I think it is because the 2k/xp disk cache does not work as the 98/me.

Hi,

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

Hi,
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:

You can check your MTU setting using the DOS Ping Test:

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..
