Instalation quirk in WinXP Home Edtn

[cdn_jaz]

I recently upgraded form Win98 to WinXP as well as a 2.5G AMD CPU and Asus A7V600 MB.
When I install and run VC++ 6.0 it seems to take forever to load my project and compile it (written under Win98 originaly).
Have HD partitioned but VC and projects are in the same partition.
If I run it in Win98 compatible mode it seems to work OK.
Strange thing is my lap top has WinXP home and Visual C++ runs without a hitch.(not in Win98 compatible mode).
Stumped.
Any ideas as to why it runs so slowly on the dersk top system??
PS Have RAID running..

Tried that and it helped a bit.
Isolated the probelm and it seems to be really slow while it's
..Loading the Workspace.
(not that huge. Never noticed any delay in win98 or on the lap top running XP Home)

and when you click on a source file (takes a good 2 -3 sec to load and they are quit small. (same comments as above).

Maybe some XP setting I should look at (or VC setting??).

No . No AV software running.
tried cleaning and rebuilding..no effect.
Kinda stumoed. Strange.
Taking over 5 sec to load a small header file and that doesn't seem right.

Wierd.

Problem solved!!

This was a new clean installation done by some techie and I have no idea what settings he used or what was installed.

In desperation I did another clean install of WinXP and all is running just fine now.

Txs for your help .
