Hi,
I have no large database on my notebook. The only databases that I use for
my tests are Northwind and Pubs. Each time I install Windows and SQL Server,
I notice that EM considerably becomes slow after 1 or 2 months. This is what
all my colleagues complain about. Is it normal?! Is there any solution?
Defragging the disk did not help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't get what? David was NOT addressing your issue of EM performance.

Both David and Aaron have asked you to fix your system clock, which is
causing your posts to be marked with tomorrow's date. Some people do this so
that their posts will show up at the top of the list for longer, and it is
considered very rude.  Many very knowledgeable people on these forums will
refuse to answer posts that are post-dated like this. So do yourself a
favor, and make sure your system clock is correct.

Oh... thanks indeed Kalen!
Honestly I was working on point-in-time recovery and I used the clock to
move the time forward when modifying the data! I did not need to check the
calendar on my notebook (I use my watch!) to fix it since few days ago :-)
I must check if I have made any mistakes on some data entry or timestamps in
my word documents!!

Thanks Tibor,
But this is off. Don't you really have this problem?

Leila, do you know where your taskbar is?  Do you see a clock there?  Can
you please set the proper date?

That moment in time has not occurred yet. That's why people is yelling
at you to fix the clock.

The other standard thing to look out for is databases that are set to
autoclose. That can be a major peformance hog, if your are not sysadmin,
as EM needs to open each database to check the access rights.
