    Slowwwww Performance with Windows XP

    Reply Contact
    We recently upgraded from Windows 2000 to XP. As a result, our Blackbaud performance has slowed down immensely. Tasks that use to take a max of 10 minutes now take at least a half hour. The screens hang up on searches, module changes, reports, everything. This is very frustrating. We tried the troubleshooting found in Solution BB74864, but it did nothing for performance. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Blackbaud apps are pretty fat, but then again so is XP compared to Win2K. I'd say you probably need to upgrade your client machines (get at least a gig of RAM for blackbaud applications). Dan Larson Programmer/Analyst St. Cloud Hospital St. Cloud, Minnesota

    I agree with Dan, I may suggest even 2 Gb memory upgrade, since memory is so cheap. That will solve the problem. Rao/..
