343112 2005-04-09 07:44:00 Hey guys.

Probably gonna install my hard drives soon but before then can someone tell me if they know of the solution to or have ever had a problem with Right Click wait times being like 2-5 seconds. Noticeably long and annoying...

I recently got this problem like 2-4 weeks ago and it's been the biggest pest of a problem I've ever had in windows.

Anyone?

343113 2005-04-09 07:46:00 O/S??
Specs of PC??
Recent chnages to PC??
etc.......

But while you're coming up with the extra info. Do a virus and spyware scan. Use more than one spyware checker. Clean out temp folder etc, see how much room is left on the PC etc.

343116 2005-04-09 09:07:00 Bro this is permanent.

If I right click any file in a folder it takes 2-5 seconds for the right click menu to load. Right click in blank space to create a folder etc doesn't take that long.

343118 2005-04-09 09:29:00 well thats an interesting suggestion.

343119 2005-04-09 09:30:00 Does it take as long in safe mode?

The most obvious reason is to much crap running in the background,if they are using all the resources then the comp has to free some up to let you do what you want to do.

How many entires do you have in start up?

If you kill off any Anti-virus and/or Norton apps does the problem go away? (when i say kill off i mean temperally disable,not uninstall)
