Directory Opus (11) opens slowly recently

Hi there,

Recently I have troubles with my beloved Directory Opus 11 (bought the upgrade to German v12 but not yet installed) as it opens very slowly (30 secs approx.) and that for every call of a window (open DO or any folder).

I tried many of the suggestions you give in similar threads, but none worked unfortunately (even disabling anti-virus).
I cannot say what caused the sudden problem, but 1-2 weeks ago, everything was fine.

I now close DO on top-level, means both listers on Computer, but still it takes ages.

I have attached the procmon file Logfile.zip (13.2 KB) (dopus.exe) while opening Directory Opus.
Your help is much appreciated.

Sorry you're seeing this problem.

Unfortunately, the attached ProcMon log seems to be corrupt and won't load.

A 30 second delay usually indicates something is trying to talk to a network server which is inaccessible. Check for anything in your configuration that points to network machines and you might find the culprit. (e.g. Toolbar buttons that point to programs or icons on network shares that are not online.)

Hi Leo,

Thank you for your effort so far.
Gonna reproduce the log again and will upload tonight as I honestly don't know where to find the blocker anymore after reading related threads.

As promised, I have re-attached a hopefully working ProcMon log. logfile_dopus_05092016.zip (14.4 KB)
Any help much appreciated in this matter.

Problem persists after upgrade to v12 ... so I guess, it's something with removed folders etc. which causes the timeout.

That PML file won't load here either, I'm afraid.

If you double-click it there, does it load OK for you? It seems very small, as if the data was not fully saved and has been truncated.

Which version of ProcMon are you using? I've tried with the latest 3.31 as well as a slightly earlier 3.x version.

I somehow restricted the output to highlighted only ...
Otherwise it would be huge ...
Going to give you a full export then?

Don't know what changed, but after v12 installation and 2 reboots, everything just quickly opens as expected.
Tried another 2 reboots and still working, so can't say what it was, but it seems, it went away. Powered the NAS up and down too, to see if that might be the cause (but it wasn't).

Guess, you can close here for now ... :wink:
