84606 2002-09-30 03:26:00 Hey. Any one notice that the XP Pro Start button (and the toolbar for that matter) freezes for about a minute sometimes when you click on certain icons in it? Any way to fix this? JamesStewart (874)
84607 2002-09-30 03:40:00 OK, time to play the guessing game....

(No-one has noticed freezing for a munute because it is not normal.)

What Icons specifically?

And It is when I click on: My Computer/C: OR D: OR E: OR F: (or anything in that sub menu). I don't the the other Icons much.... but it occurs offen in the My Computer Tab!

84609 2002-09-30 04:01:00 Perhaps it is because these are icons for drives, and the computer has to actually read the contents of those drives before it'll display anything. This can take some time, hence the "freezing".

84611 2002-09-30 04:10:00 Again, it is perhaps because they are drive icons, and so each time you click on one it has to read what's on the drive first, and that would be the reason for a "freeze".
