VS2008 Express Very Slow in debug mode ?

[Greg2fs]

Hi, I just bought a new laptop, I was on windows 7 and now on Vista.
I develop a directx game using Visual studio 2008 express and had no
problem on my old computer, but now, when I run my game in debug it is
very slow, the frame rate decrease to 10 fps due to anormal processor
load by the game and visual studio.
Can someone have a solution ?

Do you have the same problem running the game code (debug build) without the
debugger? I so, it may be something to do with the amount of memory
available (perhaps your graphics card is using shadow memory). Also, often
the debug versions are not optimized so there just may be some slower code
do to that lack.

No the debug version isn't slow without the debugger... but I can't
wait, I remove this stupid vista ! And get an illegal xp instead....

Oh no I cannot install xp on this computer !

You may want to consider upgrading to Windows 7. I've had great luck with
Windows 7 since leaving Vista behind.

Also, when you open the IDE (VS) you may want to right click and select Open
as administrator if you are debugging.
