missinng network drive causes delays
(cross-post added to XP Networking) "easily_confused" wrote in message ... I have a network drive configured that is my ipod touch (actually, an application on the touch). I map a drive to the URL and then I can transfer files to/from the ipod touch (iphone). When the ipod is not connected I run into a delay problem when I try certain things. For example, clicking on a txt file should open my editor, but it takes forever. If I just open the file with the editor using the context (right click) menu, it happens immediately. If I click on the txt file, explorer hangs either until something times out (30 sec?), or until I open another explorer window (opening the other window somehow causes the edit session to open). But, even after the edit session is opened by opening another explorer, the initial explorer window is still hung until I open yet another explorer session (the third one). Then, it displays "there was an error sending the command to the application" (even though the edit session opened with the second session). If I reboot, this doesn't happen for a while, then it starts happening. If I delete the drive mapping, it goes away. But, I don't want to delete the drive mapping. I just want it to stop trying to access it unless I specifically try to access the ipod. Is there any way to configure that? I also don't understand why clicking on the file (which then trys to open the txt file through the file associations) would try to access the network drive, but opening the file directly (through the right click "open with ....) happens immediately. Thanks EC Did all this start happening after you got some help from MS for your Red-X symptoms? eg 9/6/2009 8:47 PM PST http://www.microsoft.com/communities...adf&sloc=en-us quote Thanks, I'll try that. /quote BTW Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer are not the same thing. You may get better assistance from a newsgroup which supports Networking for your OS which we learned earlier is XPsp3. Cross-posting for convenience. HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- |
