Hi,
My new Vista machine seems to take AGES to copy files to network drives.
For example, copying a single 10mb file has so far taken several minutes
and it hasn't even actually started the copy yet - it still says
"Calculating..."
Windows XP can copy the file in about 4 seconds.
I've disabled Remote Differential Copy.
I've disabled TCP receive window scaling.
I've updated my network card drivers.
If I can't fix in the next couple of days then I'm going to have to give
up and go back to XP.
I'm using a Dell Dimension 9200 with an Intel 82566DC under Vista Business.
Two knowledge base articles mention hotfix packs which sound like they
address this problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938194
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938979
....but when I try and install them, they just say "this update does not
apply to your system". Why not? There's nothing about those hotfixes
which says they only apply to certain systems or hardware and many
people have said that they fix the problem. So why can't I install them?
I've also tried other file copy utilities such as the command prompt and
RoboCopy. Whatever I do, it's still just as slow.
PLEASE can anybody tell me any other things I can try to fix this.
Thanks,
Nick...
