Upgraded PC from XP to Win 7 RC. Using Visual Studio 2008. The Publish function is painfully slow in Win7. One of our projects takes 3-4 minutes to publish to our production servers (outside ofour domain and office network)in XP but the same project is30-40 minutes using Win7. We skipped Vista so I don't know how it compares there.Any ideas or ways to see if it's a Win7 setup issue causing this? Is there logging that can be captured to see what's going on?

Hi, Thank you for posting. Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following: 1. Please ensure that all the updates for Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2008 have been applied. 2. Boot the system to Clean Boot environment and check how it works: Clean boot ================= 1) Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Search box, and then press Enter. Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window. 2) Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray). 3) Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK". Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK. NOTE: we can go back to normal boot by running msconfig again and checking on Normal Startup in the General tab. In the Clean Boot Environment, the third party services and applications are disabled, please check if the issue reoccurs at this time. If the problem does not occur, it indicates that the problem is related to one application or service we have disabled. You may use the MSCONFIG tool again to re-enable the disabled item one by one to find out the culprit. As you motioned Upgraded PC from XP to Win 7 RC, this is unsupported. If it is possible, please perform a clean install and install Visual Studio 2008 to see if it works. Meanwhile, I would like to share the following with you: Windows 7 Upgrade Paths Step-by-Step: Windows 7 Upgrade and Migration Hope this helps. Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT

hi we are experiencing the same problems from clean installs on several PCs (laptops and desktops) we are experiencing 10x + publishing times (on a 2.66Ghz QUAD with 8GB mem compared to a 2GHz single CPU with 2GB of memory) please provide us with additional strategies/diagnostics thanks rob karatzas tutor@ebiz-developer.com
