slow screen output -> WINNT40, SP6a,Explorer 6.0

[StoneKeeper]

before i installed MS-Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 the output of inputfields was very fast.

after the installation i almost can count every single field until it will appear on the screen. The Taskmanager shows almost 100% cpu...

i use progress 8.3a.

does anybody have an idea ?


greetings

Hi StoneKeeper,

I sure don't have an explanation for that, but you should take a look at KB #17686 'Slow printing on 8.2+ - A Solution' and KB #17677 - How to Cal WIN32 API Function: LockWindowUpdate.

Just out of interest you were'nt using MS Proxy server and SSL by any chance?

mxproxy ssl

hi graham,
no, i do not use ms proxy with mod ssl . I had also contact with progress support and the folks there thought, that it could be a problem with authentication (128 bit encryption) - but i use a rather old progress version and also the os of the workstation is not up2date. Therefore support could be difficult....
