slow loading symbols

Hi, in VS 2005 suddenly a program that used to start in the debugger within
a couple seconds now takes a couple minutes to start. The problem appears
to be thrashing about constanting loading and unloading symbols. Once
started the program also runs about 50-100 times more slowly than before
because of the same problem.

I moved my code to a couple of slower older PCs, both of these run the
identical code in the VS 2005 debugger like my PC used to run, starting
within a couple of seconds and running 50-100 times faster than my newer
faster PC. All of the PCs have 1GB of memory.

What could I have done to my PC to cause this problem?


Thanks,
Mark
 
Hi John,

I have tried the miscellaneous Windows fixer-upper thousands of times from
Win95 to WinXP, including as soon as this problem happened, and dozens of
times since then.

Thanks,

Mark
