Super slow Windows Explorer
I posted something earlier on this subject and I can't
find it now with the search function...strange. Anyway, I have a problem that started a couple of months ago and seems to be getting a little worse all the time. The Windows Explorer function is very, very slow and hangs for about 45 seconds or so everytime I try to move through the file hierarchy. For example, if I am in a Word file and click "save as..." I get to an Explorer-ish window in which I am searching for the folder to put the file in. As soon as I click something in this window the system hangs. Evenutally, it will un-hang and I can look for the folder. But, if I have to search through a fw subfolders it will hang agin eventually. The system never crashes or hangs "forever" but it can take 5 minutes just to save a file. The machine is a Dell, 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM, plenty of HD space left. I have tried to clean up the file system, defrag the drive, run spybot and adaware, run full AV scan, run all the diagnostics, etc. Also, XP is fully updated. I unplugged all USB devices. I did everything I can think of plus tried recommendations I read about here, but it still hangs in the same way no matter what I try. I called Dell and they pointed me to some on-board diagnostics that I didn't know I had. It took a couple of hours to go through all of the tests and the system passed them all. We have 5 other machines that are identical and none of them have this problem. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you. |

This still could be a hardware problem, ram or maybe processor.

Super slow Windows Explorer
I have noticed that Explorer can screw itself up if you have a network drive mapped that is no longer available. It seems to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to resolve a mapping that does not exist.
