Mike, I used Diskeeper, and have it defrag on a daily basis when I'm not here. I don't have any other ini and rcs files to copy.
The ini file is for the user settings, right? What's the rcs file for?

I tried all of the ussual tricks suggested and performance was still sluggish. I have been working with 99SE since it came out so I knew what slow was. I had been shuffling a file on a zip drive back and forth from a computer at my office and one at my clients office. Both computers were in the 500- 600 mhz range, the generic computer at my clients offfice was always faster because it was equiped with more ram and a better video card. My computer is a Compaq which I would never recommend fot this type of work, but Best Buy lost mine and replaced it with a compaq. Anyway, my performance was still dogging so I went extreme. I am not sure which of the following cured the delay problem. 1. I defragmented the hard drive using Mejenix Fix it Utilities. Great tools I highly recommend them 2. I defragemented the Registries. 3. cleaned the regestries 4. copied the pcb and client ini and rcs files from my clients computers to my machine One of the above cured the delay. but not sure which was the cure. My performace was restored to 0-60 , but couldnt tell you what the real fix is. The delay is gone, but next time I am going to use steps 1-4 again without hesitation Good Luck Mike Reagan ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Fifield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Protel EDA Forum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:25 AM Subject: Re: [PEDA] computer pauses > Many thanks to all who replied to this thread.
