Try VIRTUALIZATION!!



I am using P6 in Windows XP under Windows VISTA tru VIRTUALIZATION (Virtual Box, an open source virtualization software).. it works perfectly with allocated ram of 1 GB from 3 GB (Host OS) but I have 4 GB of RAM installed in my laptop.



P.S: 4 GB of RAM is not supported in 32 bit OS

Vu Dang,



Glad someone enjoys Vista! None of my clients have moved, indeed most of them have told me they will wait for Windows 7. This is hardly the place for an operating system flame war, but I would have to put Linux as WAY ahead of Windows, and MAC is much better. Unfortunately you need Windows for Primavera.

Hi David.



I have found that if you have a project with a large number of activity codes that takes a long time to open, rebuilding the indexes on the TASKACTV table helps to open it alot quicker. Maybe you can to the same for your TASK table?





Hope that helps.

I lasted four weeks with my new Vista laptop. I spent a long time trying to resolve the performance problems, not just in Primavera. Eventually I gave up, and put XP on it. Everything is fine now, except for the sound of laughter from my IT guys, who told me not to use Vista in the first place.....
