Delphi 7 (IDE ?) very slow

[ABF]

Hi All

When I run my app from the Delphi 7 IDE CPU utilization shows up almost
always as more than 90%. When I run the same app from the Delphi 7 IDE on
another PC the utilization is low. I assume that there is something wrong
with my Delphi 7, something happened that is causing the problem. I have
already rebooted, and have uninstalled all packages that is not in use, but
in vain. I would NOT like to re-install Delphi because it will take more
than a day. Is there some tests that I can do to determine the cause of the
problem. (I had madExcept, etc) installed, but I have now also uninstalled
it (also with no effect). I can't think of anything else to do to resolve
the problem.

Thanks
Anton

A vague guess, but could it be an antivirus scanner or similar program
causing problems?

Nope. I have checked that possibility, but even so for whatever program the
Delphi 7 instance's CPU utilization is very high (more than 90%), almost all
the time. This means that it must have to do with Delphi or maybe one of the
other iterfacing/involved programs like FireBird (allthough unlikely in this
instance). Is it possible for another program to make another program's CPU
utilization appear high. A high CPU utilization means that there is actual
code being executed by that program, and it does not include idle time.

Is it possible that there is somewhere a (unwanted) breakpoint
with an expression which have to be evaluated from the delphi debugger
when your app is running? Try to turn off all debuging functions and
build your app again.

Is the Delphi 7 install absolutly the same as on your pc (3rd parties,
etc.) and do you see this problem only with this one application?
