MyComputer slow finding items

Hi,

Whenever I open MyComputer it can take up to 1 minute searching for its
initial list of items. When it does come back, there are 5 items in the list,
ie:

Local Disk (C:)
DVD-RW Drive (D:)
Shared Documents
Chris's Documents
Greg's Documents

All of these are local items, so I expect the list to be populated
instantaneously. I don't have any network drives mapped, but it could be
looking for something on my home network and timing out?

Anyway, ideas on what could be causing this annoyance and how to get around
it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
GraceManGreg
 
OK, so I checked the system event log - shoulda done that first, sorry ;-)

I get two error events form Windows Image Acquisition when I startup
MyComputer:

1. The Windows Image Acquisition service terminated unexpectedly. It has
done this 69 time(s).

2. The server {A1F4E726-8CF1-11D1-BF92-0060081ED811} did not register with
DCOM within the required timeout. (regedit tells me that that key is the WIA
Device Manager.

I sent the info off to Microsoft but there is "no further information in the
knowledgebase" about either of these errors.

I still need some advice!

Thanks a lot,
GraceManGreg
