    PC slow in development environment

    I have been developing on my Laptop (1.9Ghz 512MbRam) in VB.NET2005
    for two years now and all of a sudden my performance has reduced
    dramatically.
    I have defragged the hard drive, but no performance increase.

    Does anyone know if the registry or any other system files need
    cleaning out, and if so please could they suggest any useful advice on
    where to obtain this information.

    Many thanks in advance

      Not a concrete answer, but I'll throw it out.

      Do you have a spywear cleaner?

      www.lavasoft.com and www.spybot.com are the 2 that I run about once a month.

      If you're running XP, then I'd go to at least 1 gig ram. If you're running
      Vista, then 1.5 or 2 gig.

      I know the ram doesn't explain the sudden change, just giving you some
      in-general advice.

          Looking at increasing RAM to 2G to see if this helps.

              Type msconfig in RUN window.

              1. Uncheck all unecessary softwares which runs at the time of startup.
              Restart the system after making changes.

              2. There is a free third party software CCleaner. Run that for all options
              including registry. You will se dramatic increase in performance.

              It worked for me and hope the same for you.

              But it is always good to have at least 1 gb of memory. Just make sure your
              laptop supports increasing RAM from 512 to 1gb.

              Vista I agree with Terry. It needs 2gb to get good performance.
