I have recently begun to have problems with Windows Explorer (not Internet
Explorer). The problem manifests itself in EXTREMELY slow response times to
simple clicks to expand "My Computer" or the C: drive. The hourglass appears
and remains sometimes for a minute or more. If I leave it alone, it
eventually returns with results, but it acts like it has gone to sleep for a
time.
During this "sleep" the hard disk access LED is not active and a check of
Task Manager shows no other applications running, no process consuming big
percentages of cpu time, and frequently says Explorer is "not responding".
Again, if I leave it alone it ususally returns results after a prolonged
wait.
I suspect some exe or dll has become corrupted. I read somwhere (possibly
here) that there is a utility in Windows that will check for corrupted
components (and maybe replace them from the installation CD).
Does anyone have any ideas concerning Explorer or know of the existance of
the app mentioned above?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks
