Is there a way to make it load solutions faster?

It seems to like slowly loading every single file you had open previously if you don't think to close them all down when you exit.

It would be okay if it just showed the tabs but only loaded the last one you were on, but it seems insistant on loading the contents of every tab. I also find myself ignoring the tabs as you can't make them multi-line.

Hey, I see that the latest version has been in beta for almost a year. Is it ever going to become an "official" release? :)

I had a good 45s-60s load time for vs.net that I got down to about 5 seconds by clearing out my MRU lists. On my laptop, however VS.NET loads instantly even though it's a slower machine.

I have a corporate virus scanner running, which I can't shut down, which may explain the slight slowness. For a while I was pulling my hair out, but I can live with 5s instead of a minute.

Word is getting around

Chris: There was an alpha at PDC last year and there has since been one tech preview. There will soon (teched) be another tech preview. A beta will not come until later this year. The name is VS 2005 if that gives you any clue as to when it will be an "official" release. :-) That's as much as I know.

Micheal: Given the power of your laptop 3-5s sounds par for the course when it comes to VS 2003 once you have fixed the other issues. That's about what I get on my tablet.

Simon: This is a known issue that, unfortunatly, is not being addressed in VS 2003 becuase of the changes it would require. We are looking at speeding this up dramatically in teh VS 2005 release since we are changing a bunch of stuff anyway.

Hello. I have visual studio 2003 running on windows 2000 professional. Recently, I upgraded my laptop with Windows XP. All the services packs and updates were added. After I upgraded my OS, the Visual Studio IDE takes almost 2 minutes to load. It just started to happen after the upgrade. I ran the option to repair Visual Studio but it still having the same problem.
What else should I check? MSDN site does not has any information similar to this yet.
Thanks.

I had the problem where VS.NET 2003 would take about 4 minutes to launch. The trick is to take a look at your application event log. There should be an error specifically related to this. It has to do with a timeout/account setting. Once I saw the error I googled it and found the solution right away. Not saying this will fix all problems but it did for me.
