IDE 0022 - Slow

Hello

Hopefully this hasnt already been asked and I missed it in searching.

Just curious if other people experience the IDE having a delay when you click on the Tools menu, or when opening projects etc.
I dont remember having this problem with previous versions (I came from 0018), and I have the same experience on my work PC.

Just curious. Everything works perfectly, I am just curious if its just me.

Thanks

To add, I am running Vista Ultimate x64.
When I click tools, it takes about 30 seconds + for the tools menu to drop down. Once its down it works fine.
Ditto when opening projects, it takes a long time to open.

I think when I was running previous versions I was running on Vista x32, so it may be x64 incompatibility.

It is quite annoying, so just curious if others have this too.

Bluetooth. If the computer has a Bluetooth port, disable it. If you are not able to disable the port, ensure you have the latest driver installed.

Driver. Ensure you are using the latest driver for your Arduino board.

There is a fix for this but to find it would involve searching :stuck_out_tongue:

You can find the fix at the bottom of the first post (rxtxSerial.dll): http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237179908

There is an updated version of my post :smiley:

without THAT much text about how I do the modifications, just with a big plain download link 8)

Worked a treat, thanks very much.
