Copy And Paste Handling

[Guest]

Can this system be changed back to the XP style? The current "Calculating
Time Remaining" is uneccessary and slows the whole process up, something I
do very frequently, I'd rather it just copied the file/s instead of telling
me how long it will take, as it's never overly accurate anyway.
I can sit on my PC copying a 500MB file and it sits for around a minute
"Calculating Time" then it starts the process, on XP it calculated on the fly
and though less accurate, was much quicker, as it started straight away. I
know I'm bot the first to post on this.

I agree, but I don't want to waste time getting a Live account just to
say so.

This same thing happened to me. I called tech support. He said this was a
virus that caused this problem because if you reboot in safe-mode and try to
move-delete-add a file it doesn't do it. So I would recommend trying to get
rid of the virus (name unknown) or as I did completely re-install Vista.
Mine works good as new and fast now. Good luck!
