Win Explorer will not respond after copying files!!
When using "Win Explorer" or "My Computer" to copy, delete, etc files on my D
drive (whichever program WE or MC) the action will occur as expected. However, the program will go up to 100% utilization and slow down my whole computer. My only recourse is to use the Manager to stop the process.... This only occurs on using the D drive. If I am copying/deleting from the c drive the problem will not occur... I am stumped! Any help would be appreciated. Rob |

Win Explorer will not respond after copying files!!
My harddrives are both Segate ST3160023A models (160MB). The "C" drive has
116GB free and the "D" drive has 44GB free. This never used to be a problem until the day, when I first noted it. I made too many (what I thought were minor) changes to undo what I must have done to cause this problem.

Win Explorer will not respond after copying files!!
Ah......Thank You!!! I followed your enlightened path. I was not aware of
the Event Viewer. This lead me to do an envasive registry cleaning which cleared up my problem... Thank You, again!! "Gerry Cornell" wrote: Please look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for Warning and Error Reports over the last 2 days use and post copies here. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...308427&sd=tech Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste. Often the link will, however, say there is no further information. http://go.microsoft.com/fw.link/events.asp (Please note the hyperlink above is for illustration purposes only) A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event Viewer. How many files are in the root folder of your D drive? Hope this helps.
