AREV Specific

The Advanced Revelation 2.1 on Windows 95/98 works so fast (about 5 seconds for the screen shown up). But, when we use Windows XP or 2000 pro to run the Advanced Revelation 2.1; everything works so slow (about 85 seconds for the screen shown up). Is there any way to improve the speed?

Thanks.

A good start would be describing your network operating system, client version, network product version etc. It is possible to get good AREV performance on 32 bit OSs but we need more details.

Could it be that you're running AREV in a window under Windows 2000, but full-screen in Windows XP?

AREV runs quite fast in full-screen (text mode) in both Windows 2000 and XP - although it does use considerable CPU usage. (Or, more accurately, Windows allocates considerable CPU usage to DOS applications, even when not required.)

I have clients running on Win2000 and WinXPPro with fast response.

They have installed TAME to decrease utilization. I would suggest that you try it. There is another pkg available (I forget the name)

5 sec response for a window is too slow. My clients experience 2 sec or so with WinXPPro. More than 10 sec would be unacceptable. Try a bigger server with lots of memory (1 GByte). Check the network - use 100Mbit switches, no hubs.

There are lots of postings on this forum re: Novell speed and Win2K. This is a good one http://www.revelation.com/website/discuss.nsf/search/80E0BAB53A02E35F85256C6E007B6358?OpenDocument but just go to search and type AREV AND NOVELL AND SLOW.
