Slow wxPyhon on Vista?

[Martin Schöön]

Hello there,

this might be my first post here and it is slightly off
topic since it is not about something I am developing.

At work use a nifty little program called Task Coach.
It helps me keep track of what I spend time on.

Here is my problem. When I use it on a Vista box its
user interface is very, very slow when it comes to
some but not all operations. On any other Windows
version it reacts instantaneously. I have not tried
Task Coach on Linux or Solaris (yet).

Is this how wxPython or Python works on Vista in
general or is this the result of some local oddity on my
employer's Vista configuration?

TIA,

/Martin

I have encountered the same thing on XP in one instance
on a development box. For some reason, wxpython just
grinds to a halt.

I couldn't solve it and reimaged the O/S... that
fixed it...

Reimaged?

Since my first post on this I have installed the very latest
version of Task Coach and Vista has been through an SP1 install.

The GUI speed issue remains despite this.
