Slow response with My Computer folder and internet explorer
Whenever I attempt to acces the MY Computer folder either directly from the
desktop or when using a file selection box, it takes about 2 minutes to respond and you see the flashlight and folder animated icon. Every icon I double-click from that point forward has sub-second response. Also when using an IE window, if I type in a url and press ENTER I don't see any indication that anything is happening and then finally after about 2 minutes I see the website being accessed and it displays very quickly. If I have the same url saved in favorites it will respond instantly. The slowest internet link I use is a 1.5meg DSL connection and even on a T-1 link everthing reacts the same. I have Norton Antivirus 2005 installed, up to date, and I run weekly virus scans. I run weekly ad ware scans using adaware and have also used microsoft's beta spyware program. Those have not helped. Can anyone suggest anything I might have missed? Thanks. |

Disable the Windows Image Acquisition service.
