I have a SQL 2k database, relatively small, < 1Gb, WinXP. Whenever I try to do anything in Ent Man I get the hour glass for minutes every time. Customers are not complaining. Performance Monitor and the db logs have not revealed any bottlenecks so far. Hardware tested good. All other applications run normally. Log file is about 80mb. This has started just recently.

I am a rookie so I need a hint on what to check. Indexes? Logging?

Do you have msde? Disable db option 'auto close' if so. By the way, how often do you rebuild index/update statistics?

It's SQL Server 2k Standard, not msde.
Rebuild indexes? That sounds like something to examine. I doubt if is being done, at least not manually. Does rebuilding automatically on schedule require a stored procedure?

You can do that with maintenance plan or 'dbcc dbreindex'.
