This is a new one to me. Lately when I do SOME operations in Explorer
there is a general hang/delay for any other operation.
Specific example that just happened:
1) Opened Explorer to a folder
2) Renamed a file, took a small time to complete after [Enter] (this
is not the problem), and closed
3) Clicked [Start] to open another program and it opened then hung
there, my CPU fan revved up (it's variable), after 15sec or so the
menu closes and everything on my system is OK (I can now use [Start]
normally)
Note that during the hang the mouse works but I cannot lunch any new
app. And this is only one specific example.
This is an intermittent problem but has been more noticeable for a
week or more. I *think* this has something that MAY have started
after I installed IE8, but I'm not sure.
*IF* this is an IE8 caused problem, this is more evidence of why I've
always thought Microdunce's decision to integrate IE into the desktop
was a BIG mistake. WEB Browsers should be independent apps.
Anyone else seen this symptom?
