My friend has an HP Pavilion (yeah, I know)... and his OS is WinME. When he starts it up, a message pops up that says "Windows is preparing your files, this may take a few minutes." By a few minutes, they mean about 15. No, that's not an exaggeration. If anything, it's an understatement. Obviously this is rediculous. I've looked on the HP site and the Windows site, and I can't find anything. The solution is probably really obviously and I'll feel stupid for asking this question, but can anyone help? Thanks.
