>>Why does it take 90-200 seconds for the help file to come up when I hit F1? Or why is it that when I double click on a .H file in Windows explorer it takes 5 mins for VS2005 to display it?

>What are you hardware specs? This problem is not normal. You are either using an underpowered machine or there is something wrong with your installation.

I have a Centrino Core 2 T7200 @ 2Ghz with 2GB of RAM and plenty of free harddrive space. Everything is plenty fast on this machine....except VS2005 at certain tasks. I have worked on at least 7 VS2005 projects since I installed it on this laptop in April and it always seems to hang for a few seconds on stuff that I think should happen instantly.

I would beleive something is wrong with the install. I can only hope that an uninstall and re-install would actually fix it. But it still seemed slow to launch and handle other simple tasks on my last machine.
