New to XP Pro

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

My company has finally decided to startinstalling XP Pro into our mostly
Windows 2000 environment. Everything seems fine except that it takes at least
10 minutes to open our main software (which employs an Access database on the
local server). On Win2k computers it takes about 20 seconds. I have disabled
the firewall, are there other settings I need to change to allow the computer
to open the file?

You'll probably want to get in touch with the developer or ask them here.

What version of Access? We have big performance issues with Access 97/2k,
but Access XP/2k3 works just fine.
