CVF and XP

tmcole — Sat, 16 Nov 2002 02:40:20 GMT

Has anyone figured out what to do about CVF bringing XP to its knees as per a previous posting? My current workaround is to leave a 1.44Mb floppy in the a: drive and then hit the reset button on my machine. Norton AntiVirus then asks me to take out the floppy to prevent a virus infection. If I don't take it out and let the message come up several times, then remove the floppy and hit OK, the computer does not continue shutting down, and I can restart CVF. This prevents me from having to waste the time for a cold restart of the computer, but I was hoping someone else might have figured out something better. Better yet, has anyone in the development team fixed what is causing this behavior under XP?

I'm not sure what problem you're describing. It doesn't seem to match your previous thread, nor anything that has been reported to us at vf-support@compaq.com

I don't understand what you mean by "CVF bringing XP to its knees" - is this compilation, installation, your application running, or something else? Does the system go CPU bound, I/O bound, does it just hang with no CPU activity, or something else? Nobody has reported a problem like this to us, and I can't imagine what the issue might be.

If you have a case that can reproduce the problem, please send a ZIP archive of a small (if possible) but complete project to us at vf-support@compaq.com, along with instructions for demonstrating the problem.

I wish I could be more helpful, but I really have no clue what problem you're describing.

Steve,

You must have missed previous posts concerning this. They're located here http://intel.forums.liveworld.com/thread.jsp?forum=76&thread=3902&message=10240&q=xp#10240 and here http://intel.forums.liveworld.com/thread.jsp?forum=76&thread=4203&message=11060&q=xp#11060. Basically, when going from breakpoint to breakpoint in debug mode (or stepping through line by line), everything is fine for a few times, but then the system slows down to a crawl, which others have noticed also. The OS is not frozen, but response is such that it might as well be. Since others are experiencing the same thing, I assumed that it was a problem with CVF and XP. I will bundle up and send an example to support. Thanks.

Neither of those reports seem to be what you're describing - I'll look forward to a problem report with a reproducer. I'll comment that I use XP daily, building, running and debugging CVF programs many times a day, and have never encountered problems with hangs or stalls, and nobody has previously reported such problems to vf-support.

My problem seems to has been IntelliMouse. I installed the latest driver from its home page and now W-XP, DevStudio and CVF-debug work as they should. I had the same problem even with W2K. Steve helped me to solve it. See here.
