I have SQL 2000 Personal Edition / SP3 on XP Pro, P4/HT. I also have the
same version of SQL installed on W2K / P3. The Enterprise Manager seems to
run much slower on XP than on W2K. A simple click in the left pane (e.g. on
'databases') results in 20-30 second wait (the disk led is lit solid during
that time).
Could anyone please give me any suggestions as to what I should be looking
for on the XP machine?
Thanks,
Bogdan

Do please check if your databases have the autoclose option turned on. This
is default for Personal edition, and it takes time to open all databases.

enabled (although I'm not using ODBC to connect to any of the databases and
I hope that Enterprise Manager does not use it either).
What seemed to work was SP3a. I applied it last night and things appear to
be 'normal' now.
Dejan, Tibor: thanks for your responses.

Both EM and QA uses ODBC.

I've had a laptop that's been slow for months with QA and SQL EM and
it's been driving me crazy. Even pressing the Cancel button from the
Database properties in SQL EM caused undue database and disk activity.
Checked the databases, and sure enough, there was one user database that
mysteriously had Auto Close turned on. Probably turned it on for testing
and forgot to turn it off.
You fixed me. Thanks.

moving a database from MSDE to MSSQL.
MSDE, IIRC, defaults to autoclose on.
