Update: The product worked well but seemed to cause unacceptable system slow down. I uninstalled it.

Getting Primavera Project Planner (P3) to run quickly on Terminal Server
After installing P3 (an old 16-bit version) on my Win2K3 terminal server, I noticed that performance was pathetic - intolerable, actually. There is a permissions problem as well but I don't have a solution to that one yet. Maybe I'll work on that as time permits - but not a big deal as I'm the only one to use it.
Anyway, after trying a few other things I found a posting somewhere that suggested I run the program once immediately after I had installed it but before I returned to execute mode (clicked on "finish" in the add/remove programs dialog). I did this and noticed that the program ran quickly! However, after I left install mode and returned to execute mode performance was back to pathetic. Something in execute mode was causing the problem.
I found an enlightning Microsoft article at: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ts_cmd_changeuser.mspx that describes the operation of the Change User comand.
While poking around on google groups with my friend Tony I found this seemingly unrelated article:
Google Groups : corel.wpoffice.office2002-installs
The secret is in program compatibility flags!
Reference: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/31655e26-f0f2-44e3-af91-f0b7d406f531.mspx.
So, to solve, I created the following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\TerminalServer\Compatibility\Applications\P3]
And I then created a new DWORD entry: Flags = 0x00000404
And that's it.

PingPlotter
PingPlotter: "PingPlotter is a network troubleshooting and diagnostic tool. It uses a combination of traceroute, ping, and whois to collect data quickly, and then allows you to continue to collect data over time to give you the information you really need to identify problems (both short-term and long-term trends).
PingPlotter is unique in its ability to collect data, over a period of hours, days or weeks, allowing you to then focus on particular aspects of that data to determine where the problems are happening. Of course once you've found the problem, you need to communicate that problem to someone that can help, and Ping Plotter graphically shows problems in a way that is compelling and intuitive. This can greatly shorten the time, for instance, it takes to convince your network service provider or ISP that a problem really exists. PingPlotter isn't just a tool to help you troubleshoot Internet connections, however, and has a place in any administrator's arsenal of tools.
Not only does Ping Plotter help you locate existing problems, but it can also be setup to watch for new problems as they happen and then notify you via the powerful built-in alerts capability."
