VB6 --> VB 2005 upgrade ...IDE now VERY slow!!!were many errors and warnings, more or less what I was expecting, so I have been working through these. The problem is that the IDE is SO PAINFULLY SLOW. When I create a new line or make any modifications to the code and move to the next line, I have to wait 1-2 seconds before I get the cursor back.On pressing carriage return, the CPU spikes up to 80%. Is there any way around this?! Is it because of all those errors and warnings that it is trying to refresh? In my googling I found that MS Knowledge Base article KB917452 and KB920805 more or less addressed my issue, so I contacted MS and got the Hotfix. But that made no difference. I have tried disabling statement completion, smart indenting...no effect. The project really isn't even that big @ 40 or so classes and modules. I have an average development system (2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, Win XP Pro). When I ran the machine in safemode, the IDE was perfectly responsive. That may lead you to think that I am running a bunch of crap in the background, but I am not. >>sigh<< Any suggestions?Thanks, Marcus I just ran the vb upgrade wizard from Visual Studio 2003 and it worked
fine, with a fully responsive IDE after the upgrade. Doesn't help me as this project needs to be in .Net Framework 2.0.

You may try: Disable "Tools\Options\Text Editor\General\Track changes". from (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=144370&SiteID=1&PageID=2) You'd be well advised to try your own google search as well. Start with "VS 2005 slow or unresponsive". -Boo Show quoteHide quote > Interesting suggestion.

Approach it as a generic application problem. If you don't know the specific issue that is causing the problem, try some different things to se if you can isolate the issue. You said that if you convert via VS2003, it's OK. Look at what code is generated via the upgrade wizard (or not and leaving you with an error). General things you can try on the PC: -disable un-needed services and startup items (themes, terminal services, wireless zero config, error reporting, fast user switching, etc) See list at http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/winxp_services/ for help with specifics. Check and disable via msconfig any startup items not needed. I use a P4/1.8Ghz 1Gb ram PC and while not blinding fast is OK. I installed the free refactoring tool for VS and it slowed right to a crawl. Removed it and it's back to normal. Have you tried converting another VB6 project to see if you get the same results? Remove, reinstall ,NET 2.0? In the end, the more data points you can gather, the easier it will be to either isolate the problem or find a fix.

the folks at ZA, they had no fix and recommended using an earlier version of ZA that didn't have the same problem.
