My VB6 installed on my laptop (Dell 300Mhz CPI w/128 meg or ram Win98) is very slow
to load a project file from my hard drive. The same project can be loaded from
my ME machine over my LAN almost instantaneously. Any clues why this would
hang the machine when these project files are indentical???

I've experienced extremely slow loading of a project when the project's
references are not available.  Make sure the project's required .dll and
.ocx files are registered on the laptop.  A good way to know is to wait for
the project to load, then try CTRL-F5 to fully compile.  If the project
fully compiles, you have a different issue than the one I'm describing.
