Windows XP Pro SP2. Dual 2.0 Ghz CPUs with 2 Gb of memory
When I double click or select a file and press Enter it takes about 30
seconds to 1 minute for the associated program to start and load the file,
same thing happes when I right click on the files to view the properties and
same thing happens when I try to delete the file. When I double click on a
EXE file it starts right away and when I have an attachment in the Outlook
email like a zip file and I double click on it the associated program starts
rigth away and loads the file. Same thing happens when I open a Zip file
and double click on a file inside the zip file, the program starts and loads
the file right away. The only time it is slow is when I double click on a
none executable file from the Windows Explorer.
Everything works fine after I reboot the computer but after couple of hours
the computer goes back to being slow.
I've downloaded the ShellExView from http://www.nirsoft.net/ and disabled
all of the Extensions and rebooted, but same thing happed - everything was
fine after the reboot, but after a while it was slow again. When I double
click on a none-exe file the CPU utilization goes up about 10% and goes back
down right away, the hard drive light does not keep flashing and there's no
additional traffic on the network and the computer just sits for 30 seconds
to 1 minute before the program starts and loads the file.
Does anyone know what could be wrong or how to fix this.
Thanks
