Speed Under Windows 7
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2015 6:54 am
Hi.
I have noticed for awhile that my applications runs significantly slower under Windows 7 then Windows XP. It was not a real issue until now, that my user has upgraded more of their work stations to Windows 7.
As I was using hmg 3.2 version, I decided to try the latest version 3.4.0. Same speed issue. I then decided to try compiling under 64bit.
When I change the Build to 64bit and compile (in IDE), I get the Build Log error window that says:
Resource compiler -42'windres' is not recognized as an internal or external command
My two questions are:
1. Should I see a significant speed difference with an application on a Windows 7 machine if it is compiled in 64bit?
2. If yes, what am I doing wrong (or what am I missing) in compiling the application as a 64bit application?
Thank you.
