My machine normally goes just fine. However, every now and then it bogs down
like I am running it on a P3 1ghz (I am using a P4 3Ghz with only 1 gig DDR
on an 80gig IDE which I know isn't the best of ways to do it but no dough to
change for a while yet) and goes so slowly that folders can take 30 seconds
to open, programs even longer. When this happens, I check task manager and
there are 2 x explorer.exe instances running. I shut everything down such as
open folders, programs and such and am only showing the desktop and nothing
else running yet both explorer.exe instances are still running. If I reboot,
all goes well again until next time the same thing happens. I cannot pin the
start of the second explorer.exe down to anything I happen to be doing
though I realise it is more than likely I have done something to have had
that happen.
Has anyone any idea WHY this happens? Thanks.
