Lucky strike! Cleaning up the Temp folder speeds up of the bootup process enormously!! Is this a flaw of the FM implementation? I know a lot of applications which make use of the Temp folder but none of them has ever caused such annoying performance problems...!?! And is there any solution to this? Apart from urging our customers to clean up the folder periodically? Thanks, JohanneS

I'm not familiar with the concept of the Hosts file. May this file play a major role even in a situation where I make use of a runtime solution? Hmmm... Is it possible that FM gets into trouble with fragmented files? It seems as if my runtime solution gets a little bit slower each time I launch it - although the number of records doesn't change (there is a predefined constant number of records for each day of the year). But that wouldn't explain why FM Pro itself takes such a long time to boot up...!? - JohanneS

We are a small company with a maximum of 5 FM applications running simultaneously on the network. All of our machines are NT or Win2k Professional boxes, with processor speed ranging from 400 to 1700 MHz. And I don't make use of the network at all, as I'm developing a standalone solution. What makes me feel very *unhappy* is the fact that even a runtime version of my FM application doesn't behave (much) better. I always thought that such a solution can be passed on royality-free, without the need of installing FM on the client's side?? - JohanneS

Hi, can anyone tell me why FM Pro takes such a long time to boot up? I checked out the performance monitor: after FM has taken some processor cycles nothing happens for about 10 to 15 seconds. It seems that FM is scanning the network for any other running instances. Is that right? Has anyone encoutered a similar problem? Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks, JohanneS
