I got Vista Home Premiun on a brand new machine, the computer runs
fine 'cept that I can't move large files from and to external
harddrives that use a USB port. All it does is calculate the time
remaining. At a speed of 0 bytes per second. It does that for hours.
Sometimes windows explorer freezes up and then I have to use taks
manager to get out of it. Most of the time I can just cancel out of
it. I need to get those files off my hard drive and need to back them
up. Any ideas?

Have you applied the Performance and Reliability update for Windows Vista?


Also, you might want update your chipset drivers to see if it is available.

Does this problem occurr with other USB based devices?

I got a Flash drive and a Seagate Agent Backup External Hardive, both
run over a USB 2 Port, all the files I'm trying to transfer are 10MB
and up. Small files don't seem to be an issue. It just gave me the
same problem when I tried to delete one of the alrge files.....Mouse
runs fine, the video camera deos the same thing... it seems to be more
of a large file problem..... both storage device run fine on my old
desktop that has XP on it...
