Default 2005 Management Studio on Vista Open Dialog can take ages to displ - 10-27-2008 , 05:17 AM






Hi,

Quite regularly when using Management Studio (SP2) on Vista Business SP1
when I try to open a script file (either Ctrl-O or using toolbar) the open
dialog appears but all the icons, buttons, list portion are blank and
unuseable.

After about 10-20 seconds the open dialog refreshes and is drawn correctly.
This is most annoying when this happens.

Has anybody else had this issue?

P.S I'm NOT running Management Studio with admin privileges.

Cheers,
Bye

And it only happens from SSMS, and no other program? Particularly no
other program that uses that Open dialog?

I don't seem to have that problem, but I've noticed that there are
other Open dialogs in Vista that are painful, particularly those that
show a directory tree.

A workaround is to locate the file you want to open through Explorer and
then drag onto Mgmt Studio.
