My computer was recently reformatted and WinXP
reinstalled along with MS Office and Norton home edition.
Although opening and using files doesn't seem to be a
problem, navigating with Windows Explorer is a lengthy
process especially when browsing other computers on the
network( there are 5 computers total). After selecting
another computer in Explorer and then getting about 2
levels deep into the directory it will take about 1 to 2
minutes to reveal in the right pane what I expanded in
the left (CPU usage is at 100% during that time). When
navigating on my computer response time is better but
still about 2-3 times slower than what it should be. I
have no slowdown when browsing the internet. I thought
Norton might be slowing things down but I turned that
completely off with no difference that I could tell.
Here are some specifics on my computer:
Win XP Home Ed Version 2002 SP1
Intel Pentium III
666 MHz
256 MB RAM
Any ideas?
