Hey there.
Am having an issue with XP Pro whereby when I click the quicklaunch button to open Explorer, it can take up to 40 seconds to load.
All other programs I am running (just Outlook, Opera, IE and Kazaa, Word) open fine, it only seems to be Windows Explorer that is experiencing this problem.
Its a Celeron 433, 320Mb Ram, Asus P3B-F mobo, 9.1Gb SCSI HDD on an Adaptec 2940AU controller.
I am also running Seti@Home, command line client.
I used to have Windows 2000 installed on this same machine and with the exact same configuration (ie same programs and specs) and had to probs at all.
Any ideas? It does seem that if I stop running Seti@Home then explorer seems to open faster, but I did not have this issue at all with Win2k. Maybe just the difference in OS's somehow causing it to not function properly ?
later...
