The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSDeveloper Studio may appear to hang for 60 seconds or more when loading a workspace.
CAUSEPlease refer to the MORE INFORMATION section.
RESOLUTIONPlease refer to the MORE INFORMATION section.
STATUSMicrosoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATIONFollowing are several known causes:
Windows NTTo edit paths from your environment in Windows NT, click the Start menu and select Settings, Control Panel, and click the System icon. Select the Environment tab. Note that there are two list boxes for environment variables: System Variables and User Variables. Check both of these for any network or CD drive paths.
Windows 95To edit paths from your environment in Windows 95, use a text editor and open the C:\autoexec.bat file. The environment variables you are most interested in are PATH, INCLUDE, and LIB. These contain the executable, include file, and library search paths respectively. Remove all paths that point to locations on your network or your CD-ROM drive.
Developer Studio OptionsTo edit paths in your Developer Studio options, from the Tools menu, select Options. Select the Directories tab. In the "Show directories for" list, cycle through each of the four sets of paths--executable, include, library, and source--and remove all paths that point to locations on your network or your CD-ROM drive.
Project SettingsTo edit the paths in your project settings, from the Project menu, choose Settings. Select the C++ tab. Select "Preprocessor" from the Category drop- down list. Under "Additional include directories," remove all paths that point to locations on your network or your CD-ROM drive. Select the Link tab. Select "Input" from the Category drop-down list. Under "Additional include directories," remove all paths that point to locations on your network or your CD-ROM drive. Save your projects and try again. If the problem persists, it may be that you created a new configuration based on a configuration that did have an include or library search path in the project settings that pointed to a location on your network or your CD-ROM drive. In this case, Developer Studio saves the options that the configuration was created with so that if you choose to click the Reset button on the Project Settings dialog box, the project settings will be reset to the options with which the configuration was created. There are two ways to modify this: - Delete all such configurations and recreate them - Use a text editor to modify the project file (.DSP) directly. This option is dangerous and may render the project file unusable in certain circumstances. Keywords : VwbIss Version : WINDOWS NT:5.0 Platform : NT WINDOWS Issue type : kbprb |
