   Re: Vista is running slowly on multiuser

   Jim,   
   now I've my equipment so far installed, that I could run some tests. The   
   scenario isn't exactly the same as what you described:   
   - I've *one* Vista (Home Premium) PC (no Full Pdox - only one app with   
   Runtime) and 5 other workstations/laptops in a peer-to-peer net.   
   - All is done with P9 SP3,   
   - NET.DIR is correctly located and well configured on the XP-laptop on both   
   cases:   
   - I tested (1) the app (with Full Pdox) on a XP-laptop which has to copy,   
   compare and, if necessary, create new tables on my Vista workstation;   
                  (2) the same app with PdoxRT on the Vista-workstation trying   
   to do just the same vice-versa.   
   While (2) works just fine and fast, (1) is a horror-scenario that brakes my   
   app: All actions on the laptop are nearly frozen, even to invoke the   
   taskmanager take loooong time. And CPU usage is nearly less than 1%, no   
   important network-activities seen. I had to shot down the app brutally.   
      
   Should nobody be able to correct this behavior anyhow then I can't sell my   
   apps to people who want to mix Vista with XP in the network. And if you say   
   that the same horror happens between Vista and Vista then we can't say we   
   were happy this time, that Vista didn't break Paradox. It has broken   
   Paradox!   
   A little sparkle remains: Copying various files with the explorer from the   
   XP-laptop to the Vista-workstation lasts remarkably long too.
