Making oneNote lighter/snappy/snappier Anshul <ksdfasdf[ at ]gmail.com> 12/27/2008 3:11:48 PM Hello all I am new to onenote and usenet, so be nice ;). Loving onenote! My question is how can I make onenote snappier ? Not saying that its a resource hog or something, but things take just a second or 2 or more longer . To be specific - Opening the side-note takes 3-4 seconds first time , 2 seconds every other time OPening options (tools > options ) takes a good 10 seconds! everytime. (help) tab changing is just ain't instant. and a few other things..taht I don't remember right now. I have fast 3 month old dual-core PC running xp sp3 . 1 gb ram . So plesae suggest any thigns I can do to make things more snappy. Thanks and how do things work on usenet/ I have several other questions, should I make a new post for every question or do I ask all my questions in one post? -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

I know I rely on these fine folks to answer all of my questions, so I know you'll get answers here as well. Generaly speaking, I found some of the things that helped my one-note speed were: - disabling the pen pressure sensitivity (if you're using ON on a tablet pc, that is...) - disabling the Instant Search service You can do this through Tools --> Options Hope this helps, to start!

RE: Making oneNote lighter/snappy/snappier John Guin [msft] 12/29/2008 6:43:01 PM What type of video card do you have? All the problems you point out could potentially be caused by a slow video card. One of my test machines has integrated video, and although the processor is fast, it takes seconds to draw what other machines with dedicated video cards (and slower processors) can draw in milliseconds. And at the risk of "advertising" an upgrade to Vista, you can get a startup speed increase by using Readyboost: http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin/archive/2007/07/02/a-cheap-speed-increase-for-onenote.aspx And you may want to follow the link back from my blog entry to GottaBeMobile.com to see if other users there have posted any speed tweaks for OneNote. Last tip: check under the Control Panel System Icon | Advanced tab. There are a bunch of UI enhancements you can disable there to speed up your UI overall. FWIW, I have about 80% of them disabled on my primary machines. -- Hope some of this helps, John Guin OneNote Test Team http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin "Anshul" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hello all > I am new to onenote and usenet, so be nice ;).

Re: Making oneNote lighter/snappy/snappier Anshul <ksdfasdf[ at ]gmail.com> 12/31/2008 9:43:57 PM Thanks for replying. I figured that one of the reason for onenote sluggishness is my old hard-drive. Although my onenote is not exactly slow, its just not instant! something like Opera (the browser). And I do not think the readyboost should make a difference if I already running with 1gb..
