CWHC(S)08 delay after linking and missing cursor in error window

[wre]

Hi!  I am using CodeWarrior 3.1 for HC(S)08.  IDE is version 5.6.1.1506.  The "Installed Products" button says that I am running "CodeWarrior Development Studio for Motorola HC08 3.1, build 4210."

After linking my project the hard drive light comes on solid for about 10 seconds.  During this time I am not able to do anything inside of CodeWarrior.  This seems to be a recent change in behavior.  I do not recall having to wait after a link like this before.

Another recent behavior is the loss of the insertion pointer in error windows.  When I single-click on an error in the top part of the window, the related code shows up in the lower part of the window but the insertion pointer is no-where to be found.  If I press my "ALT" key twice, the insertion pointer becomes visible.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill

About the delay question, I would have 2 possible things to look for.
What takes really some time is if the search paths in the project are set to "recursive" search and the this recursive searach covers a lot of directories.
For example a recursive "{Compiler}" directory entry searches ca 1500 directories. Check both the user and the system search paths.
The second one is about the license. Well this would not explain the HD usage, but I did see some delays when a non existing network license was searched. This especially causes delays in cases where no license server is actually replying.

Thanks for the response.

I have checked the paths and they are not set to recursive.

My system uses the local license file and not a license server.

Hello

Is the environment variable LM_LICENSE_PATH or LM_LICENSE_FILE defined on your system?

How are they initialized?

Is your profile directory located on a server or local on your Host?

Is your "My Document" directory local or is it located on a server?
