SLOW FILE RIGHT CLICK WHEN NETWORK CONNECTED

[Cyril]

When I right click on a folder, the popup menu comes up quickly.

WHen I right click a file, it takes 1 to 2 minutes before the popup menu
commes up. SAme thing when I double-click on a file (ie word document), it
takes 2 minutes to open it.

What is starnge is that if I kill my connection to the network, then
everything comes back to normal ???!?!

Has anyone any idea?

Thanks a lot

Cyril

Do you have a Novell Netware client installed?
I had this problem once and it turned out to be the Netware Client. I
went to Novell's homepage and downloaded the latest client and the
problem went away.

HTH,
