Maybe you’ll first try backup and restore. "Corrupt" might be too many extensions of some tables which may lead to "out of memory".

Hi Sampath,



Based on my experience to my windows xp laptop, shrinking decrease the usage capacity of my database and the performance is quite better than before. I am not sure if you should re-arrange first before shrink. But it works fine without doing that. But, make sure to backup your database.



Try to reduce the data from your database and just import again the moment you will need it. This is also what I am doing.

Hi Sampath,



1. Try to check your Edit --> User Preferences --> Startup Filters, all mark must be under the "Current date project only".



2. If you are using windows vista try to change the setting from your Control Panel --> Power Option --> Preferred Plans, then select "High performance".



3. You can compress or Shrink your database using the "SQL Server Management Studio Express".



Hope this helps.



Regards,



Arnold
