I am having a probelm where if I click on "My Computer" or use Windows Explorer my system takes up to 5 minutes to show the folders and drives...
I am running WinXP Pro Svc Pack 1
on :
MSI K7N2G-ILSR Motherboard and latest BIOS
with 512 MB DDR 2700
AMD XP 1800 (not OC)
running at about 28 degrees C and 80 degrees F
2 WD 40 Gig HD, on IDE 1
Master, Slave config
not using RAID or SATA
I had this exact problem with my last Mobo so I just bought this one and the Memery
so it is not the board of Mem, I have also used a 20 gig WD, so it's not the HD's
The one thing I do notice is that if I unplug all my USB Devices (4 total) it starts acting right again
but it will not remember my view settings. For example... I have my drives listed by type in "My Computer"
and when it does finally load or if I unplug the usb's everything shows but it is not grouped and their are no details (File System, Size and so on)
I bought this board for one reason because it hase 4 usb port's naturally, whereas my old board only had two and I used a usb hub. I figured since when I unplug my usb's on the old board things started acting right that this board with the 4 built in should resolve the problem. No luck there,
I also have svc pack one which has support for USB 2.0 so its not that.
I am open to any suggestions anyone has since I can not search this problem out on the net because
all the results come back with like a million "windows explorer tips"
in short HELP!!!!
