Delphi 2007 – How to make it Fast and Stable
A friend (thanks Mike) sent me an email recently with some tips for making Delphi 2007 faster and more stable. Here is the list of things you should do to improve your Delphi 2007 installation:
To make Delphi 2007 (or Rad Studio 2007) fast and stable, do this:
1. Install “December 2007 update”
2. Install the “April 2008 Hotfix”
3. Install the “June 2008 Hotfix for ilink32?
4. Install IDEFixPack 1.6 (or newer) – freeware from 3rd-party
5. Install DelphiSpeedup 2.78 (or newer) – freeware from 3rd-party
If you use the built-in help, then also install “May 2008 Help Update”
Both DelphiSpeedup 2.78 and IDEFixPack 1.6 are must-haves for any Delphi user.
I’ve already patched with IDEFix which has got rid of some annoying ‘features’ in the original release, including the two taskbar buttons that occasionally appear with Delphi.
The original link comes from a D2007 review:

About this blog in general, very nice. I came across Wizard-soft and your blog through a link on the Delphi Wiki. If you want more traffic and more people to visit this blog I suggest you get it included in the Delphi Feeds blog aggregation.
