A customer of mine is trying to run his app under Windows 8.
He says that it is as slow as molasses and is unusable.

Does anyone have experience with Windows 8?

No Problem here with Win8.1, but my pc has a SSD, that is definitly fast. Is his app local or in a network ?

single or multi-user ?

I told him that I think the problem is with his ADS connection.

Lots of our customers use Windows 8 and we have some workstations running it here. No bigger problems (besides "Where's the f*cking start-button?"). Maybe the system has an antivirus on it checking all kinds of things ("process monitoring" and stuff like this - damned Kaspersky does such things). Switch off antivirus or remove it. Try again.

Tom -

It definately is an ADS problem.
Connection to the data-dictionary is fast.
Opening a file is slow.

BTW - Congrats on the win in Brazil, but this bodes not well for the Brazilian team or Brazilian politics.
Sell all your Brazilian stocks.

There is a hotfix for the ADSDBE concerning this. Another known problem: ADS 11 with ACE32.DLL 11.1. Use 11.0 instead.

I don't care much for soccer. And I'm not that "My-nation-won"-kind-of-guy. People are doing (well paid) sports. That's it. Not much more.

We are using ACE32 11.10.0.10 against ADS Linux (Novell OES) version 11.10.0.10 and against the windows ADS version 11.10.0.10. We did get the replacement adsdbe.dll from Alaska to fix the problem with the ADS 11 issue.

What specifically is the issue. Want to make certain it is not something that is lurking in the background that could cause a problem.

Cliff.

ACE 11.1 tends to open the wrong index files. The ADSDBE-hotfix corrects the latency problem.

We have not seen that, but we are using structural indexes (filename.dbf and filename.cdx) except for one file with 2 cdxs. We have not had a problem with this. You must have a different setup. We are using ADS under linux(OES) and win7 clients. Our Windows server clients are still on version 10.
