After a clean install of Windowx XP Pro -- when opening My Computer, I get the full flashlight and folder routine for 2 minutes before everything shows up. Have two hard disks, ZIP drive, CD and 3.5 floppy.

When you click Start and then click My Computer, or when you double-click My Computer on your Windows desktop, Windows may search (a flashlight may appear) for a long time (for example, 5 minutes) before files appear. Disable the Windows Image Acquisition service. More Information: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;819017
